A lot of times that is all you need to separate teams nowadays. Teams are lacking on either offense or defense but rarely have both. The miners with Montana may have been able to keep great talent BUT so did the giants bears redskins and other great teams in the 80s. That is why these pats teams would of got destroyed. It was much harder to win back then.
Nowadays all the pats have to do is beat maybe the steelers in the afc or a good NFC team here and there. Hope this lesson was easy to follow.
So you're cool bringing up how Montana played in a different era to prove your point but want to turn around and bash Brady for playing well in his era?
49ers were one of the most talented teams in the 80s. Some of the best to ever play the game were on those niner teams. I'd say keeping that talent without a salary cap made them much more likely to win games than Brady and the Pats do having to constantly rebuild the roster outside of QB due to salary cap.
Parity means all 32 teams essentially have a chance to win and in a game where 1 loss in the playoffs means you're done it's a lot harder to get to the big dance consistently when you can't keep all your best players year to year. We were easily the most talented team in the 80s and early 90s if anything your point makes it worse for Joe who was surrounded by terrific talent his whole career.
