How were those not supercrews?

Those crews had all vets that everyone fights so desperately to get on their roster today so that their crew can be a 'supercrew.' Oh, I forgot A.I. aswell, A.I. was one of those most dominant forces at a few points in time. You're just being stubborn though, TE was never the best in comparison to what once was. Maybe for the time being they were on top, but I mean, for a good 5 to 6 months there was only 2 or 3 crews that were actually fully active. If there's no competition than there's also no true 'top' to reach.
