Where do you rank the Ravens organization?

[Frank Costanza 831]

I would definitely say top 5 in the league but i wouldn't know what number exactly. I'd say the top 5 in no particular order is the Steelers, Patriots, Ravens, Packers and Giants. Does anyone feel they should be higher or lower?

[Steveg85321]

Well right now, I guess they're number one, being Super Bowl Champions and all. But I have no disagreement with your list.

These days I would switch SF for Green Bay. The defense has been horrible the past few seasons and they haven't had a running game since Ahman Green. Until the Packers stop being completely one dimensional (Rodgers and the passing game), their organization will be considered middle of the road.

SF was horrible until the past two years, but they seem to have a good foundation for the future with talent, cap room and draft picks.

I might have to push the Colts in to the discussion... but I think if you look at wins, playoff appearances, playoff wins, etc. since the Ravens became relevant... those are probably the top 6.

[Pickle20]

Top 3, IMO.

[JasonM]

That's a good top 5, I'd say Whiners & Texans are knocking on the door, with playoff wins & division titles 2 years in a row.

[Pickle20]

In the last 5 years, top 2. Maybe even the best.

Last 10 years, top 5.

Since 1996, top 5-10.

[Fang]

Since 2000:

1. New England
2. Pittsburgh/Baltimore
4. New York Giants
5. Indianapolis
6. Green Bay

Good list.
Bottom five would have to include the Cowboys.

Can't disagree with Fang's Top 4.
Pickle20's points are "spot on".

[Slidemaster]

There's no way they aren't top 5 by any objective measure, and probably top 3.

[AFKAR7]

If one is just doing the past 5 years I would have to say the best. Has any other team made the playoffs all 5 years and won a SB?

Past ten I would say 4th behind the Patriots, Steelers, Giants.

My bottom 5 since 2000 (In no particular order):

Cleveland, Detroit, Redskins, Buffalo, Kansas City

[West Chester Raven]

Definitely top-5. The article attached sums up a big reason for that: Ozzie Newsome. See attached:
