The formula I will use is still up for debate, but here are some of my data points.
Thoughts?
1. Rankings debated on Percentages of stats by years of existences.
A.Wins2. Teams that changed names/towns.
B. Playoffs
C. Titles...Division, Conference, Super Bowls.
D. Merchandise/Popularity
E. Hall of Fame Players/Coaches/Admin.
3. Pre: AFL-NFL agreement.
4. How much weight does a Title really count overall? 20% weighted. Is is really more important to be a SB winner or a franchise like Vikings with higher winning percentages and more conference titles.
If you have a thought let me know. I hope to finish it by next week.

1- I would personally prefer to have one SB versus losing 3 or 4.So it should have a decent value
20% seems a little high based on all of the criteria though.
2- Org winning % should be large. Also what about # of winning seasons vs # of losing to get a second perspective into the wins
3- playoff %
4- You have to consider the complete history of each team- we are ranking all time not modern era.
I don't have anything major to add. I really like W/L% and playoff appearances because I tend to appreciate the franchises that sustain excellence more than those that pop up with great teams here and there. It would be interesting to see if you can find the data for how many all-pro's teams have year to year, because in addition to HOF players, seeing how many all-pro's they come up with would be a big indicator of excellence.

Jonathan ,
You sound like a Saints homer with the comment "I would personally prefer to have one SB versus losing 3 or 4."
John,
I'm definately not accounting for Merchandise/Popularity in my rankings. Think of the Cubs for God's sake.
DM-- Ask a Bills fan what they would prefer
