I have the same suspicion. It looks like a winning or 200yd throwing QB makes more developement, but it's not always the case.

Maybe we're ignoring the 'intelligence' factor? Could it be that only intelligent players are 'vulnerable' to being mentored? Or maybe personality, leadership and/or chemistry come into play?
