That is a legit concern but I wouldn't say he was a product of playing alongside Jackson.  Like Dantes said, I think its more of a case of any player benefiting from having other talented players around him.  I almost said more talented players but realized there is a difference.  Jackson is a flashy player who makes big plays and excites guys like my brother in law.  Amos is a steady player who doesn't make the flashy plays but he doesn't screw up either.  Is one more talented than the other or are they just equally talented with different abilities.  I'd probably say the latter and I think either would be good ones to have.</blockquote>
