Whatever it takes to earn starter pay.

Thank you for saying this. Every man for himself. Dog eat Dog league. I would be trying to do whatever I had to do to get on the field.

In my line of work, when a rookie comes on the job, it’s his job to learn on his own bc I have my own problems to deal with and mentoring someone is not apart of my job description.

Rico - Mahommes could be telling the truth or he could be fan speaking. 

Back on topic - I like this offense and I don’t think the backup QB job will matter. Fred Taylor did just fine as a rookie. MJD did good as a rookie. QB is no different. Lawrence will need to handle himself or he will be cut. Period.

Mentor or not.
