Did you read Peter King's MMQB this week? There's a piece with Warren Sapp where Sapp unequivocally states that younger players do not listen to veterans. They blow them off, entirely. He saw it with the Bucs and the Raiders. He said Derrick Brooks has experienced the same thing.
Trent Green was pissed about the drafting of Brodie Croyle in 2006.
This whole "mentoring" thing is a figment of the imagination of the fans.
It just doesn't exist.

Would you want to train the younger kid who's after your job?
I'll never forget the obvious hatred between Montana and Young.
