Eli can teach him how to take phantom sacks and throw picks and that dumbass HC can teach him how to scowl at the cheerleaders. That's about it.

Well, to be fair, the situation was perfect for Pat. Solid franchise, great QB whisperer of a coach, didn't have to play right away, plenty of weapons for him when he did.
SO, if you want to duplicate the KC model, you need a great QB whisperer of a coach, a solid vet for him to sit behind for a year, and for the team to have the discipline to stick with the plan no matter what.
Problem is, that rarely works out, and they throw the kids to the wolves behind shit lines on crap offenses and then throw them away. Like Rosen.
