Playing 154 v 10-14 games

The NFL played a 14-game schedule during all of the Packers' championship years.

EDIT: Babe Ruth never played against Black or Hispanic players but his accomplishments get compared to those of modern players, while Starr played in a fully integrated NFL and his accomplishments are pooh-poohed. I would compare Otto Graham to guys like Ruth and Ty Cobb, but I would compare Starr to athletes from his era, like Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle, Sandy Koufax, Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain and Jerry West.
