Fox Sports Ranking the NFL Franchises:
 

Hard to believe they put the Denver franchise ahead of Oakland... but at least the Broncos are just barely ahead....

Fox Sports 2nd annual NFL organizational rankings

We rank franchises 1 to 32 based upon: Owner, front office, head coach, coaching staff, QB and "intangibles," -- a combo of fan support, facilities, stadium and PR.

#13 Sandy Eggo: QB Phil Rivers is star. Say what you want about A.J. Smith's personality, but he's a fantastic general manager with a great eye for talent. Concerns about the Chargers' long-term future in San Diego hurt the overall number.

#18 Kansas City: Scott Pioli is a phenomenal executive. Carl Peterson and Herman Edwards ran the Chiefs straight into the ground, and Pioli has already made great progress in this major rebuilding job. Todd Haley is a solid first-time head coach with a new all-star staff featuring Charlie Weis and Romeo Crennel. I have no idea what the Chiefs really have at quarterback.

#24 Broncos: Head coach McDaniels often shows his inexperience and struggles to get on the same page with players and coaches. Losing defensive coordinator Mike Nolan after one season was a major blow.

#29 Oakland Raiders: The Raiders are a mess under owner Al Davis. But the appointment of Hue Jackson as offensive coordinator and finally cutting the lazy and out-of-shape QB bust JaMarcus Russell actually kept the Raiders from getting a lower score.

Denver ahead of SF and Detroit?

They gotta be Bronco homers....

Pats number one? Still? Naw...

That might be where Fox ranks them but that ain't how they are going to finish. It will be between us and the bolts, the other two can battle for third~

These rankings are based on owner, front office, head coach, coaching staff, QB, fan support, facilities, stadium and PR.... not where they expect teams to finish in 2010.

what do you mean? Oakland is a one of the worst franchises in the league.

sorry man, but it's a disaster ... this is the first offseason i can remember where everyone in the league wasn't laughing at the faiders for doing a bunch of stupid crap.

I understand that, I just think the Raiders will surprise this year. Those that know me know I don't talk smack I just feel a little froggy this year :)

(I know.... I'm just giddy that they didn't pick us at #32 & that their opinion of Denver has fallen into the dark & murky depths)

you guys are showing signs of actually turning it around

legit chance at the playoffs this year imo


if you can just keep Al's bony fingers out of everything

Al is dead and per his instructions it is not realeased to the press. This offseason has Al is no longer making the calls written all over it~

Denver should be number one in the AFCW then. Pat Bowlen is one of the most influential owners in the NFL (not to mention no team has won more games than his franchise the past 27 years), Denver also has the newest stadium and best facilities in the division, Denver has the biggest fanbase in the division, Denver was 7th in revenue in 2009 despite missing the playoffs, has one of the top 5 longest sellout streaks in American sports, our head PR guy Jim Saccomano isthe best and most respected PR guy in the NFL, Denver's HC has won more SB's than any HC in the division.......

I could go on and on. Denver is the ONLY team in the division who won't have to worry about blackouts.

If they just listened to the Drafturbators it would be clear that the Ravens,Packers,and Eagles should have been 1,2,and 3.

ROFL

I don't believe any of that because it wasn't confirmed via twitter.

The draft sure as hell did
