From what I understand, very few established veteran QB's are willing to actually mentor young QB's. Even less so when they're future hall of famers. I mean Montana didn't want to do it for Young, Favre didn't want to do it for Rodgers, and I doubt Manning would be willing to do it for anyone else.
Guys like Hasslebeck for instance are more the exception then the rule.
Warner also did it with Leinart but beyond that I can't think of many guys that actually took their young backups under their wing.
