Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 687683">The talent pool was undiluted for everyone in the olden days, just as it diluted for everyone now.  On this point I don't see how one way or the other makes an argument for difficulty or ease of winning.  Everybody's in the same boat.However, prior to free agency if you did acquire talent you could pay them what you want, and thereby retain them for a career.  You could keep a generation of winning players together as the Packers did.  The team didn't fall into disrepair because Lombardi left; the team just got old.Now, you have to repeat the process in increments every year to stay on top.  Lose a few, gain a few every year, and if you don't get good value in those replacements you sink.</blockquote>
