this is a misconception that many fans have. Just because one guy was a backup behind someone that is great, doesn't mean that guy will pick up his game and imitate him.
Most players will tell you that you have to be your own guy. Rodgers will tell you that Favre didn't help him do shit. If he had a question or wanted to talk about certain things they would, because they're teammates, but the "mentor" card gets played waaaaaay too often.

Chase Daniel was around Drew Brees every single day for four years. Whether or not there's intentional mentoring, Daniel, as a undrafted free agent, learned how to prepare from one of the best QB's in the game and from some of the best (if not THE best in Payton) coaches in the game.
