1. Dallas Cowboys Yeah, I am biased but everything except the weather makes Dallas a more storied team.
2. Pitts Closest to Dallas and the gap aint much.
3. SanFran. I hate them, but they are very good.
4. Cheese Heads.
Not really a great list unless you break it down into era's. Seeing as Dallas only started in the 60's, i would have to eliminate them from being most storied franchise overall. Early era 20's barnstorming and 40's was the Bears starting with red grange and then you had the famous t formation in the 40 or 41 championship game the bears won 73-0. Moving into the 50's it was otto graham and the browns.30's and 60's belonged to the packers GB became title town i think at this time. 70's had pitt dallas and the raiders. Pitt ruled the SuperBowl's dallas and their cheerleaders were the media darlings in the late 70's. 80's to present hard to say 49'ers int he 80's for sure, 90's started with dallas. 00's pats meh. So to truly make an argument of the most storied franchise is tough indeed.
Bears and Papa bear halas, and Packers and Lombardi are probably the 2 most storied franchises. And the Packers hold the record for most titles with 12 9 nfl championships and 3 super bowls. The Bears have 9 total 8 nfl and 1 super bowl. So most storied Franchises.
1. Packers
2. Bears
3. Ny giants with 7 total titles and 3 super bowls ranging from 1934 to last years upset over pats.
All 3 teams date back to the start and if you talk about most storied franchises teams like dallas come in late in the story and dont quite rate top 3.
4. your choice here dallas isnt a bad choice.
