Bowener hit on it. It's not like Sorgi and Painter had zero skills coming into the league. They were still in the same meeting rooms and had the benefit of the same coaches and knowledge as Manning. In the end, yes, they never were meant to play in the league, but it's ridiculous to say that Manning didn't give a flying **** about them, yet all of a sudden he's going to be Obi-wan to ****ing Osweiler? Please.
Take a cue from great QBs Joe Montana, Trent Green, Dan Marino, Brett Favre, and numerous others. Starting QBs don't ****ing care about their backups. They might like them as people and hang out with them after practices. They might even be lifelong friends. But it's not their ****ing jobs to coach them along. They aren't coaches, they're PLAYERS. First and foremost. I imagine Manning has enough on his goddamn plate trying to build this offense as quickly as possible. He doesn't have time to babysit Assweiler.
