[CBFF] - Part of this must be subterfuge

[Tom Shannon]

Jason,

The Bear WR corps got better pretty quickly after Muhammad arrived.  I think
its because a veteran presence and experience helped stabilize the group and
that he taught the younger guys a lot of tricks.  That might make him more
valuable than he would appear to be on paper.

Just a suggestion.
