I think the idea is that there should be a good deal of change each year in the NFL. I'm not sure why you're saying the same teams are always bad, 12th. The Lions have been the most atrocious NFL team for a long time, and they're in the thick of the playoff hunt. Whisenhunt has the Cards fighting for a spot. Last year the Saints jump up out of absolutely nowhere and go to the playoffs. This year the Bears were coming off a super bowl appearance, and now suck balls. At the same time, the Pack were coming off mediocre season after mediocre season, and now look great. The Eagles, a model of consistency for so long, now don't look so hot.

There's plenty of parity. But if you've got a Tom Brady or a Peyton Manning, no wonder you're consistently winning. That's the name of the game, find yourself a franchise, HOF type QB and build the rest of the team around them. That's the key to long term success. If guys like Tom Brady and Peyton Manning can't be consistent winners, then that's a league I don't want any part of.
