Marino never getting to another Superbowl is mind blowing.

The league adjusted to Marino setting the world ablaze and Shula simply didn't have an answer.
Reid, OTOH, has fundamentally redesigned this offense essentially every season to continue to find ways to attack the defenses designed specifically to stop him. This offense is night and day different than the 2018 offense and Reid's still going to SBs with it.
Had Shula even WON that Super Bowl with Marino and then never done anything from that point forward, it would've been akin to Reid beating the 49ers in SB 54 and then being mediocre for the next decade.
He's just so obviously better than Shula when you really start to mine into it a bit.
