Before salary cap we had Sf, NYG, Wash, Bears, Dallas, Pittsburgh, Dolphins, etc. we're all strong teams all at the same time. And these teams were deep, with plenty of talent on the bench.
Today we have two super teams, a handful of good teams and the rest struggle to field a complete lineup. I have never seen so many bad teams as we have today. For example the entire NFC east sucks. Not one strong team.

You are right, the era of the super teams is gone.

Is that really so bad? The era of the super teams was great...if you were one of the super teams. The bad teams had a hard time getting good and in the meantime knew that they were just whipping posts for SF, Dallas, and us. It was not a good time for fans of non-super teams.
