Wow, sports might be different, but my impression of millennials (I work with a dozen of them) is that they're incredibly smart and incredibly driven. I hate all of 'em.
You must work in tech.
They are not that way in the field of physical work

Marketing.
As a millennial (later end of the spectrum) I've noticed that there are two divergent groups. There is the entitled side that doesn't want to work and expects a natural career progression without doing anything because its the path everyone should be on. Then there is the other group that is extremely driven but aren't exactly the most humble. Think of it as "if I'm going to work hard, I expect to have unlimited PTO, more pay, etc..".
Its interesting being within the generation and hearing outside opinions.

Thank you for this. I'm at the end of the Baby-boomer generation and am trying to figure out the millennial mindset. It frustrates me! I've obviously become an old man.
And stay the fuck off my lawn!

I have zero problem with these snowflakes being called out when they are getting paid huge contracts and not producing. Why shouldn't it come with the territory?
Agree...the last time we coddled a star player it didn’t go so well. Please see the notorious case of #28 for further details.
I can’t understand why anyone would get on a coach’s case for publically calling out a high dollar, underperforming player. What should he do?? Praise the guy? Shit would hit the fan on ol’ Vikefans if that happened too...damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
Maybe it’s a better idea to instead listen to the player call out the coach publically. That worked well for Mike McCarthy and the Packers front office didn’t it?
By not going well you mean winning his 3rd rushing title after being banished for a year. That kinda not well.
Nope, I’m talking about the drama, endless drama and how he threw the team under the bus even after getting paid that season, 12 million plus I believe...for 75 yards of work. Also, that rushing title he got didn’t translate to a SB appearance for the team.

I wouldn't begin to argue about the drama. I won't even argue that he didn't earn his money some years or was overpaid even on years he did perform. However the gist of this thread is if Rhodes is playing at a level he is capable of. I can't think of a season he (AP) wasn't injured or banned that he didn't play at amongst the highest levels in the league. Or history of it even.
Edit: for the record not translating to SB then every great player we've had for the last 40 years has failed us. Why single out him?
LMAO! How does Zim saying X needs to play better morph into the topics in this thread?

My thoughts exactly!
Back on topic, the Zimster doesn't have the resume to call out ANYONE publicly. He needs to worry about getting HIS shit together. You want to talk to one of your players about expectations? Do it face to face, NOT through the media. Mikey has shown an alarming propensity for PUBLICLY calling out players and coaches. He needs to STOP following the L'il Ricky guide for finding scapegoats to cover your own ass, and figure out how to make sure his team is prepared for "big" games.

I agree with this. He's got the shortest of short leashes with me as a fan this year. I'm finding the curmudgeon act wearing thin now.
