Seems to me that Delhomme/Muhammed is a QB/WR combo that suits both players\' talents and styles. Jake has a reputation - and a sometimes spotty completion percentage - for being reckless in throwing the ball into coverage regardless of the consequences. This leads some to view him as \"lucky,\" and it sometimes appears that way, but Muhammed has alot to do with it. Muhsin\'s never been feared for his speed, but he gets downfield well enough and is simply too tall for many DB\'s to cover. In a jump ball situation (often created, probably intentionally, by Jake), Mo\'s coming down with the catch a considerable amount of the time.

The Art Monk comparison is validated when one considers that Muhammed steps it up even further in clutch time. This is nothing new, as he most often became Jake\'s favorite target when the marbles were on the line last season (remember Mo in the playoffs and Super Bowl?). Sure, Steve Smith posted better receiving numbers last season, but much of his yardage was gained after the catch. In spite of his questionable speed, Muhammed manages to demand respect as a deep threat. In this regard, he could also be compared to Marcus Robinson.

It\'s a simple fact - if Jake keeps throwing them high, Mo\'s gonna catch a considerable number of them. This scares me, as our secondary (especially Fred Thomas) has already proven themselves troubled by tall WR\'s (the Minnesota game was painful to watch).
