Being born in 92, Shula was out of the league when I started watching (98). But whenever his name came up on football’s Mount Rushmore, the latter part of his career (as well as Marino’s entire career) was given a lot of grace since their owner was a tightwad and a good chunk of Marino’s career came before the salary cap.
That’s not personally a defense I’d give Shula (because who else gets those kind of defenses in NFL history?) but that talking point is something I remember hearing for a long time.
