  • Fox Sports: NFL Organizational Rankings - Packers #1, Eagles #5

    FOX Sports Exclusive2011 NFL organization rankings

    It is my favorite time of year. It is time once again for the annual NFL organization rankings on FOXSports.com.

    I was once challenged by an NFL head coach to “crunch the numbers” on what makes a “great” organization. This is the third year we’ve ranked every team. The New England Patriots, ranked No. 1 in 2009 and 2010, have been knocked off of the top spot.

    Remember, this is NOT a power ranking. We grade each team on six vital categories — owner, quarterback, head coach, front office, coaching staff and intangibles, which include facilities, fan support and public relations.
    I was surprised by many of the results. And there are way too many "bad teams" in the NFL.

    Enjoy the debate.
    5. Philadelphia Eagles: 53.5
    Owner: 9.5
    Quarterback: 8
    Coach: 9
    Front office: 9
    Coaching staff: 9
    Intangibles: 9


    Andy Reid, Joe Banner, Howie Roseman and Jeffrey Lurie are excellent and united. Reid scored a coup when he hired Howard Mudd to coach the offensive line and Jim Washburn to coach the defensive line. The Eagles' public relations staff just gets it when it comes to the media, fans and players.
    7. New York Giants: 50
    Owner: 9
    Quarterback: 8
    Coach: 7.5
    Front office: 8.5
    Coaching staff: 7
    Intangibles: 10


    The Giants didn’t cut anyone’s pay during the lockout. The Giants treated their season ticket holders with respect during the work stoppage. Owner John Mara and company deserve a lot of credit.
    15. Dallas Cowboys: 37
    Owner: 8
    Quarterback: 7
    Coach: 4
    Front office: 4
    Coaching staff: 5
    Intangibles: 9








    The Cowboys’ new stadium is epic. Jerry Jones the owner is a marketing genius. Jerry Jones the general manager is a borderline failure.
    Below is where he ruined it for me? A "5" for Danny boy? Really? And a 7.5 for Shannahan?

    22. Washington Redskins: 29.5
    Owner: 5
    Quarterback: 1
    Coach: 7.5
    Front office: 8
    Coaching staff: 4
    Intangibles: 4


    This was the single toughest team to grade. Dan Snyder is fine when you lock him in the closet and let the football people spend his money. I love Mike Shanahan, but last year was so messy. I think Bruce Allen knows what he is doing. I do not think Kyle Shanahan, who orchestrated the Rex Grossman for Donovan McNabb circus, is the coach his father is. “Redskins Nation” has turned into a skeptical fan base. The quarterback situation is a total disaster.

    Eli Manning doesn't rate an 8 as a QB, not if our QB situation rates an 8.........

    Well, the Eagles' PR department doesn't get it when they let Joe Banner speak..........
    "Philly fans are great....It's the only place where you pull up on the bus and you've got the grandfather, the grandmother, the kids and the grandkids - everybody flicking you off. At other stadiums, they give you the thumbs-down. Here, they give you the middle finger.”
    — Michael Strahan

    "No one likes us, no one likes us, no one likes us, we don’t care, we’re from Philly, F—-ing Philly, No one likes us, we don’t care!”
