Don't talk about the "generation of instant gratification". I doubt most of the instant gratification people on this site are in my generation, which is supposed to be the generation of instant gratification.
Both you and the Doc are complete fools and ignorant of what instant gratification is and many generations have worked to achieve it.
Examples include: the refrigerator, the microwave oven, the internet, the automobile, the jet airplane, FDA approved drugs, the radio, TV, and maybe even porn, which isn't even new!!! This reminds me of the debate that slow foods are better than fast foods. I can make chili con carne in about 20 minutes. About the same time it would take me to put my shoes on, drive to McD's, place my order and sit down. Fast food and slow food are misnomers galore!
Instant gratification is good. It is a driver of innovation. The problem with Jerry Kill is he does not believe in being innovative. He believes in systems of control that take all the fun out of scratching a play out of the dirt. How boring and repetitive does he need to make the team before we all realize that his static position is killing the spirit of the team. Innovators take what they lack and make it into something wonderful. I find the Kill message anachronistic, a misplacement of energy and a fundamental throwback to a point beyond the improvements in the game.
Dr Don, you have missed the point of what instant gratification has been for all the many generations of innovation that has come out of our fair culture. The latest generations are neither more nor less gratified than previous generations. Ray Kroc didn't come from his generation. He came from yours. Other illustrations can be made, but the list would seem so endless as to make the point exponentially redundant.
