Steelers
Ravens
Patriots
Texans
Broncos

Not much difference.

Ok I will bite..

First:
The NFC is not dominant because of a per team comparison. It is that way because that is the way it is... But if you would like to compare I would say there is a huge difference... 4-1 Super Bowl trophies.... Or QB's that hold more than 90% of the NFLs QB records (Skill based... not longevity). Between Brees, Rogers, and Favre.. there isn't much left.

In the last 5 years 4 of the SB Champions were NFC.
Last year 4 of the 5 top Offenses were NFC.
Last year 4 of 5 top producing QB's are NFC.

Except for Brady... AFC QBs are at best "good".

2011 top 4 teams combined records: NFC 11% better
NFC 50 - W / 14 - L - 78% W rate
AFC 43 -W / 21 - L - 67% W rate

Winningest Team for the last three years combined including play offs = New Orleans Saints! NFC

Secondly:

I do not know that ANYONE is good yet. I know there were some good teams last year but Detroit and the Broncos did not fall into that category on my planet. Nor do they come close this year based on last year..

Denver: 8-8 <---Please explain so i understand how this is good?
Detriot: Wild Card <---Please explain so I understand how this is good?

49erd HAD a great Defense and the Patriots and Packers HAD great offenses.

LASTLY:
There is nothing about a 10 year period that is a Dynasty. At best its an Era.

Presently there is only one team that comes close to ANYTHING resembling a Dynasty and that is the Pittsburgh Steelers. It has nothing to do with any QB or receiver... its the franchise.

So to answer the question.. No... Brees and two more will retire before the Saints are any where resembling a Dynasty (If we keep our present win rates). With 3 more Brees would have an Era.

Pittsburgh = Dynasty
Terry Bradshaw = Era
Joe Montana = Era

No offense but you're confusing me

"I do not know that ANYONE is good yet."

?????????????????

You're basing your first findings of the broncos and lions on how teams USED to be but then say that what the 9ers, packers, and pats didn't matter???? That's contradictory.

The giants went 9-7 and they're superbowl champions. The lions went 10-6.

If the Broncos are good enough to send TEBOW to the playoffs and then beat the steelers then imagine what they could do with a 4 time MVP.

And the lions have the best wide receiver in the league and they shouldn't be underestimated either.

Who cares what teams in the NFC did before? You yourself just said that the 9ers and packers may not repeat. The NFC teams are almost ALWAYS the underdogs.

"Teams were required to have won at least three championships in a short amount of time to be considered."

The steelers had a dynasty but they had terry bradshaw throughout that dynasty. The steelers were considered a dynasty WAYYYYY before they won the rings in the 2000s.

The 49ers had a dynasty because they won 4 in a short time. What you call an "era" is simply the name given for the time instead of calling it a simple decade.

The 90s were a super bowl era and a dynasty was born in said era.

Same with 80s, 70s, and 2000s.

The 50s were not a super bowl era because there was no super bowl to win.

I never said Brees was the dynasty for the saints. I said that he was our best chance at one.
