Shit, I gotta post this again?
You may have forgotten, but the Rams were in LA. As a result, they were always in the NFC West division(s). After they moved to St. Louis, they remained in that division, for their rivals were NFC West teams, and the NFL didn't want to jumble anything up because one team moved.
Now Dallas, way back when, was part of the original NFC East, thus built rivalries with the other teams in their division. Now this subject comes up because while these teams often could get away with the weird placement with 2 and 3 division layouts (West + East, followed by West + Central + East), but when it became 4 divisions, all these teams went all over the place in new divisional set-up, and because neither the Rams nor Cowboys could technically fit under the NFC North or NFC South divisions, the Rams and Cowboys should have finally traded divisions (Rams go East, Cowboys west), but due to their rivalries with the teams in those divisions, they stayed with their "classic" division(s).
