Eh who cares.

Sherman liked tharold Simon.

Greatness isn’t transferred by osmosis.

Simon likely had the talent but lacked the drive to get there. It doesnt sound like Neal lacks the drive at all.

Doesn't sound like it now, but we didn't hear about Simon lacking drive when he was here either until he fizzled.

Hey I like Neal, I just don't get excited when current or former great players take other players under their wing. I put zero currency on the fact that Kam is involved. If Neal is a player, he'll be a player and Kam's tutelage can't hurt. If he isn't a player, no amount of HOF tutelage is going to matter.

I think the reasonable hope is that in the short term it could greatly accelerate Neal's learning curve.

Or perhaps the "HOF" player (Kam isn't yet and probably won't be) recognizes something in the kid, thinks he might be something special, and wants to help him.

What Sutz said.

Also, we'll see about Neal again tonight. He's starting in place of the injured Adams. I'm sure the Vikings will target him plenty.

Hmm...So Kam (like Sherman) is just wasting his time?
