Moose isn't the answer

Muhsin Muhammad is a decent signing for the Panthers if they are looking for leadership in the locker room. Hopefully they don't see him as a final solution to their lack of wideout depth.
Muhammad can help as a slot receiver, but they still need someone else to push Dwayne Jarrett, who showed next to nothing as a rookie. Jarrett might be the guy, you just can't count on it yet without insurance. My guess is they will bring in another mid-round draft pick or a mid-level veteran not far off Muhammad's level and let them all battle it out. Their offensive coordinator Jeff Davidson comes from the Patriots school, where receivers are somewhat fungible and quantity can be just as important as quality.

Moose is probably one of the best blocking WR's in the biz which just adds to his value for John Fox. Plus, he'll be a great mentor to Jarrett.
I agree, the Panthers need to draft a WR or at a minimum bring in a young hungry free agent to push Jarrett for playing time. He hasn't earned it yet.
