I think the point some are trying to make is that there are two major things that aid a players development...coaching and example...if you get to see how a hall of famer, or pro bowl type player prepares, it gives you a better idea of what you need to do to get similar results.
Moss had Carter
Champ had Deion
Kind of ironic but dont you remember all the mentoring Priest and TRich gave LJ? That taught him patience and how to use your blockers at this level.
The type of veteran has to play the biggest role on if the veteran is properly mentoring.
I would be willing to bet part of being a Patriot is having to dp theae types of things and that is a big reason why they continue to play well through rashes of injuries
