Tebow should go Jacksonville or Miami so they can sell a ticket next year. I don't think there is a ton of mentoring going on between star NFL QB's and their backups, while Steve Young and Aaron Rodgers surely learned from watching Montana and Favre up close, relations were frosty. From the point of view of the incumbent why should he train up a talented younger guy to take his job in a "replacement business". The onus is on the young guy to watch and learn. Not sure how many selfless guys in the NFL, especially at that position.
It does seems different if you bring in a journeyman QB for a year or so like a Chad Pennington or John Kitna who know they are near the end to help prepare a young first round draft pick, but in that situation everyone knows he is there to mentor and prepare.
