I'd have to say the 'oddest' alignment began in 1970.. Rams, Niners, Falcons, Saints. That seemed very goofy to me. And that group lasted a long time.. I forget the year it changed.
It changed in 2002. This is from Wikipedia:
The 2002 re-alignment changed the entire look of the NFC West. The Falcons, Panthers, and Saints moved into the NFC South; while the Cardinals moved in from the NFC East and the Seahawks returned from the AFC West. The Rams remained in the West, preserving the historical rivalry with the 49ers that has existed since 1950, and thus had been the only team in the division that was located east of the Rocky Mountains until 2015; despite this, the re-alignment made the NFC West have all of its teams based west of the Mississippi River.
