The Panthers also signed Muhsin Muhammad, which according to the article, should help Steve Smith in the long run as far as reducing the amount of double coverage he has.

I definitely agree with you here. I always wondered why the Cowboys just didn't start Barber every game instead of Jones. Eventually they got the hint that Barber is the more explosive back, but to trade him away would be foolish in my opinion. If Barber was the full time starter, he would put up huge numbers. That's pretty scary to think about considering he put up big numbers while sharing the back field with Jones most of last year.
