True.  It would be a strong division now, but that doesn't really matter.
Any realignment they do has to be looked at as a long-term thing,
(look at how long the current, meaningless alignment has lasted),
and the teams that are strong five years from now may be completely
different.  It wasn't too many years ago that the Chargers were great
while the 49ers and the Seahawks were both lousy.  Besides, they're
certainly far from a balance in the strength of the divisions now.

That may be true, but I doubt that you could come up with a division where
Seattle wasn't almost that far away from somebody in it, and if you did
somebody in another division would be a lot further away from some of his
divisional rivals.  Seattle's a lot closer to San Diego than to Kansas
City anyway.
