Quote:I get the feeling that Vic was a "timesheet" guy, the kind that I had a lot of experience with while in the Service. To "timesheet" guys, if you put in hours then the work is good. You can't possibly do work without lots and lots of time. Therefore, if a guy spent 90 hours a week poring over game tape until his eyes goes crossed then his work is good! If a guy only puts in 40 hours, then his work is not as good as the 90 hour guy regardless of any type of measurement.

 

Gene put in early hours and did lots and lots of film study. That meant Vic thought he put out good work.

 

I don't know if hundreds of hours of study is what makes a good draft and to be honest I don't care. Just get it right.
