In the latest edition of McAfee’s show, Butter reacted to the situation with a firm response. “I don’t have a problem with Ryan’s answer at all. It’s not his job to mentor Malik,” he said in support of the veteran quarterback.
“There’s going to be questions that you have to answer for a young guy, but I feel like mentoring a guy is going above and beyond. It really depends on how you wire what you want to do. You don’t want every guy to mentor you as well. So, I have no problem with that” Butter added to his statements.

However, Tannehill’s response didn’t go well with some specific people in the NFL world. Cardinals’ former quarterback Kurt Warner was the person to spark debate on the matter. “I will never understand the “I’m not here to mentor the next guy” mentality… so for all you young QBs that need a mentor, DM me & I’ll be that guy, happy to help in any way I can!” he wrote on Twitter.
