NFL All-Time Power Rankings

I'd also like to point out that a longtime Jacksonville Jaguars beat writer has them 31st.

 

Which is also ridiculous. Jacksonville has made six trips to the playoffs in its 16 years and had a 14-2 campaign. If not for Denver, the Jaguars might have made more noise during their success period.

The list is beneath analysis.

 

Pete Prisco is not a fraud. But this article is fraudulent and he wrote it. Pageview whoring is a terrible thing to watch.

 

Raiders have one more Super Bowl in one fewer appearance; also they ruled the AFL; and the history of the league goes back slightly farther than 1985. As for the shorter term, the Broncos have made the playoffs four times and the Raiders three in the past 11 years; and neither has made the playoffs in the past six. So recent history is a wash. Don't take this as me being a Raiders fanboi, because I am anything but. Instead take it as a commentary on the total lack of football insight used to compile and deliver these rankings.


Also wherever the Colts' or Browns' history lies puts that franchise above the Broncos. Otherwise you'd have no choice but to put the 49ers and Cowboys above Green Bay.

 

The Steelers are too high on this list and here is why - Yes in the Super Bowl era - well, really since about year six or seven of the Super Bowl era, the Steelers have been arguably the best franchise in football.

Prior to that - and the history dates back more than 40 years before that first playoff win in the 1970's -- the franchise sucked ass and the teams were annually awful.

You can't ignore that long of a period.

 

A complete buffoon wrote that. Ranking Cleveland below almost every team, based on the history of each franchise, is ridiculous. NFL titles were given out before the Super Bowl started.

 

He's a fucking idiot.

Does CBS hire any jackoff who sends in a resume?

 

The Colts were the picture of incompetence for 20 years -- a third of their lifespan.

 

You should send in your resume.

 

The Super Bowl hasn't done any favors to the rich football histories in Green Bay, Chicago, Cleveland among others that won titles before the Super Bowl existed.

As far as the rankings go, doing this is an impossible task.

 

How can the Texans not be dead last? No playoff appearances at all.

No problem with the Lions and Cardinals being ranked near the bottom. Any franchise that has gone 50 or 60 plus years without a championship really can't bark too much about where they fall.

The Browns placement is very shortsighted, unless he's including the Browns history with the Ravens (gasp!), which might also explain why the Ravens are so high at 13.
