Quality of SB wins?

emcca005 : 1/15/2020 5:49 pm
On the drive home I was listening to moving the chains and they mentioned how the HOF didn’t expand the number of inductees even after the league expanded to 32 teams. The argument being that there must be more stars due to expansion (debatable).
However that made me wonder are Super Bowl victories post expansion more impressive than when the league had 28 teams or fewer? I’m kind of split because I think it ultimately comes down to how you value the extra 212 players in the league, or if it is truly much more difficult to make the playoffs.
12 teams make the playoffs

I think that allows an opportunity for plenty of good post-season play. But with the wildcards and some weak divisions (hello, NFC East), sometimes some mediocre teams are playing.
I would argue

if there is less teams they have better talent instead of it being so spread out. Same with free agents it caused less team development seeing players leave at a couple seasons.
