Re: Learning Under Vets? Coaching Up?
Yeah I do think people overvalue the impact of "mentoring". A lot of vets have no use for showing the younger guys the ropes so they can basically take their jobs.
Good players are typically the way they are because they are self-motivated, and not led around on a leash like a lost puppy.
Sure you need veteran leadership on your team and I'm not underestimating the importance of that. But the idea that all veterans want to mentor the younger guys and is worth a roster spot because of that does get overplayed with the fans.
Kinda like the idea that any free agent is available for the vet min.
