The NFC West used to be called the NFC Worst.
Maybe some of the younger fans of the sport don’t remember it, but there was a time in which 9-7 won the division and it was as joked and laughed about as the NFC East was in 2020.
Tavaris Jackson, Alex Smith, Marc Bulger/Kyle Boller and Matt Leinart were the quarterbacks, along with the “shell” of Kurt Warner before that legendary two-to-three year run.
It was the laughing stock of the league. Fast forward about 15 years or so and...well.
You see blockbuster after blockbuster move being made as the division has maybe only the AFC North as a rival for the best division in the NFL and 2 teams making the postseason (with one in Arizona missing it by one game).
