I didn't see the last word indicate that the NFL teams were in order, just that they were in three groups. But it looks like he was sort of trying to put them in order. If so, are the Redskins actually the worst team in the league? Rex Grossman said they were going to win the NFC east.
Also, with Montana and Brady 1-2 in the all-time QB rankings, and no mention of Favre and Marino down at #4, it looks like he values Championships. Nothing wrong with that, but if so, don't you have to put Bradshaw on the list somewhere? Granted, I don't think he was all that great, and was benefitted by an incredible team around him. But still, if you favor Titles, then it's awfully hard to ignore 4 in what ... 7 years?

Great points HiFi. The last 4 to 5 teams could have easily been shuffled. I picked the Redskins primarily because of their unproven QB, and also because of how the team finished in such disarray last year. They'll have their chance to prove me wrong.
Your 2nd point regarding quarterbacks, strong consideration was given to championships, and Terry Bradshaw, Unitas, and Favre were strongly considered. Bradshaw's championships can't be overlooked; however, the 70's were more about dominant run games mixed in with passing. Bradshaw had a strong arm, but he is more of a Rothlisberger type. From a skills standpoint, and Football IQ, he doesn't come close to those mentioned.
Favre almost came in at no.5, but the gunslinger owns several bad records as well as good records for NFL quarterbacks, including most interceptions. Thanks for reading

Michael Vick's a game changer, alright.
It's just not certain from week to week whether its a change for the better or the worse.

I wouldn't judge him by the preseason game against Pittsburgh the other night. He never does much until the season starts. I saw him have a real poor game last preseason as well, I thought at the time he was washed up.
