FOF2004 Mentors

korme · 07-04-2004, 12:26 PM

If I have 3 young running backs, and 1 old and wise mentor of a rb, who happens to have declined to almost 0 skill- if I keep this older rb inactive does he still have an effect on their development?

I had a question on this..

Has anyone been able to quantify the benefit of having a mentor?

JeeberD · 07-04-2004, 12:45 PM

I think it was confirmed in the original mentors thread that even if a player is inactive he still benifits the team...

There were some studies done on Shorty's question that showed there is most certainly a noticeable effect to having a mentor.

yeah, they definitely help if they are on the roster in any way. With a scrub like that you're best off trying to get him injured in pre-season and IR'ing him.

Damn I though you were looking for a mentor.

*sighs*

Oh well...

Get 'em hurt & stash 'em on IR seems to work just as well for me as keeping them active.
Nothing quantifiable, just my overall impression (largely from a single approx. 30 season career)

Just other players. To mentor is to teach someone else.

jbmagic · 05-24-2005, 08:43 PM

does a player help himself develop too if he a mentor?

or it just helps the other players development for that position that he is a mentor too?

thanks

Unfortunate choice of threads to bump. Please ignore pretty much the whole thing.

jb, only young players receve benefits from having a mentor around, and very rarely does a young player become a mentor. So, in short, no.
