I would have leaned towards the Packers before this year. Now it's set in stone. I mean just think about what the team means to the town. You could fit the entire population of Green Bay into the new Cowboys' stadium and still have room left over. It's by far the smallest market in the league and still the least likely to ever move. It's also arguably the biggest brand among the teams. The green and yellow, the cheese hats, the logo. Everyone knows the Packers and no one even knows what a packer is. It's a team named after a meat packing company that sponsored it 100 years ago so they could buy Jerseys. And the fucking team is owned by the citizens of the town.

If they never won a title they'd still be in the race for best Franchise, the fact that they had a dynasty, then gave birth to maybe the most famous QB and legend to ever play, and are now on the brink of another great era, just makes this an easy choice. Packers>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Everybody else.

At least that would make sense.

Pretty undebatable.

It's like saying the Redsox or the Knicks are the greatest franchises in their sports.

Substantial number of rings = best.

Kind of Funny not having the team with the 4th best win percentage all time and 3 Superbowl trophies. This lists NFL Championships which is counting titles before half the teams were even around.

Correction. They'll never move. They're community owned. Out of the teams mentioned i'd have to say Packers, Giants. Not in specific order. I just remembered that the Bears have been crippled by their cheap F.O. And Wannstedt who did the Bears like Belichick did the Browns. Besides before 1972 the Steelers weren't shit. 3 winning seasons the 1st 38 seasons. Some people don't wanna talk about that.
