Zach is going to help whatever player wants to become great. To help him learn how to watch film, how to prepare in the offseason, how to read offenses, how to take proper angles. It's amazing to me that I have read from so many fans that you just "go young and hope the young guy works out". Does anyone live the rest of their lives this way?

I agree with the Mike Webster point about Grunhard because they play the same position. And let's face it, Derrick Johnson is not a young guy anymore. He has been in the league for 4 years.
So, what young guy is Thomas or Engram going to teach??? This whole teaching and leadership thing is entirely overrated
for player development unless the player is an understudy like Cottam was with Tony Gonzalez last year.
Please say something like Zach Thomas and Bobby Engram are going to teach Tyson Jackson how to play the game... That may sound good to some people who have never played football or like to read newspapers. But in reality that doesn't happen.
