Now that you bring this up, I can say that I've had a QB mentor on my FOFL team since the start, and last year I had 3 relatively young QB's. Besides the guy who has started for 3 years, none have shown much improvement at all. I never bothered to think it could be because my mentor is usually inactive.

I drafted another QB project (the former starter is gone) and have the other two guys...it's a bit of a lost season, so I might just go with 4 active QB to a) have the mentor actually *do* something, and b) have a possible effect on all three.
