Which franchises are known as the most well run?

[Panthero]

Not just have some rockstar qb carrying them. Just curious as to which teams just consistently bop along no matter what. Also, do you think it's because the owners stay the hell out of the way or that some actually get it and there just aren't many that do?

Steelers gotta be up there on that list.

Ravens

Ravens, Steelers

Steelers, pack, ravens, niners

Packers and Ravens for me I love their philosophy of drafting a QB when they aren’t a pressing need

Correct

 

These franchises never have window opportunities, they’re always in the mix

Niners are doing it right. They have a former smart but hard hitting safety as their GM, brought in a tough and innovative run first offensive HC, keep bringing in smart tough hard hitting players on both sides of the ball. They are the epitome of a nerdy tough guy identity - top to bottom, front office, coaching and players alike. They know who they are and bring in guys that fit. If there is a team to emulate, it's them. Bring in a GM with similar preferences/background, and put him with Slowik. I don't care if Slowik is the HC or the OC, but get him here and overpay to do it.

Number one right now is probably the Chiefs.

Steelers had been the top of that list for years, though they're arguably not what they used to be.

The Ravens under Ozzie Newsome, perhaps less so under Eric Dacosta but still up there.

The Patriots, if you like the "evil empire" management model.

The Cowboys might be if you exclude Jerry Jones from the situation, but you can't.

The 49ers, Bills, and Rams have risen up on recent years.but are still in relatively new territory.

Some might say the Browns should be in the discussion but the Deshaun Watson deal sinks that idea for me.

Those make sense, not sure I agree on Dallas. They certainly are popular but Jones seems to hold them back. Steelers and Packers were who came to my mind. Ravens and Niners were good calls. KC seems to be more got the right coach and qb, won't really know until one or both leave (maybe thats unfair). Steelers seem the most consistent across time.

Interesting link I just found.

Ravens seem like they have been good ever since I started watching football in the early 2000's. Can't remember when they actually looked flat out awful.

Lol lord is there no Patriots entry here? They have been the gold standard for 20 years. Or, maybe they made 19, orc 18, due to the last couple of seasons. (oops, yeah Baltimore for sure). 

But I’m going them, Steelers, KC, Saints, Bills, a few others, but it’s changing. Some teams have turned it around but I just can’t make myself write their name in this kind of discussion.

Ravens are very well run.

Always make good draft decisions. For years they seemed to always have the most comp picks, etc.

Steelers are great too. It’s an open secret their owner is very involved but stays low key about it. He has a lifetime of experience to draw from though.
