The Packers winning the Super Bowl would result in them being the greatest franchise. The media reacts on emotion and not logic.

With that said though I do think that the Packers and Steelers are clearly the best two franchises in the history of the NFL. I would probably put the Cowboys, Bears, and Giants to round out the top five.

Lots of history, with lots of good players and titles throughout it. Good, wide fanbase, favorable public opinion and community support from the team itself.

Given those criteria, it's hard to identify one franchise as "best", but I suppose those five teams could be called "great".

For "best" you have to quantify. How many world titles? How many Hall-of-Famers? How many infamous games?, etc.

Tradition or history

Hall of Famers

Ownership

Championships

Fanbase

Great games count too

It is really tough, but I just think GB and Pittsburgh stand in a class of their own.
