^I agree. Also I wonder how much of our problem is (if any at all) that we seem to pick up blue collar players. Players that are not #1 in their position but are servicable cause they are cheap. Then these blue collar players are constantly looking over their shoulder wondering if the next kid brought in is going to be better then them so they don't give them all the info they would need in other words only giving them 50% of the tips they know to the rookies in order to keep their jobs.

I know I'm probably thinking too much into this but if you were a #1 player at your position then you would not have problems mentoring younger players knowing full well they would have a hard time taking your job. But if your simply an ok person at your position then I wonder if the way of thinking is "good luck rookie." Then compound that problem with injuries to our starters and the rookies or second string player is getting a crash course from the vet while playing.
