I'd bet they'd flock to see Leinart too, especially for how long many of them have been tired of Aaron Brooks. Franchise QBs will always outdraw franchise RBs. Always.

The Eagles have had several fantastic running backs and one of the strongest running games, including most recently Brian Westbrook (who's a threat all over the field) because there were no wideouts worth throwing to there (until TO).

Last year the Eagles were 24th in rushing. Made the superbowl.
Year before the Pats were 27th, won the Superbowl.

Antawain Smith has looked better than Deuce and ran for almost as many yards as Deuce with NE;

I don't know where to begin with how false that is. Deuce didn't become our starter until what, 2002? He had 1300 yards. Following year, 1600. After getting hurt, still had 1000 last year. Smith's best season EVER was 1157 yards. As a matter of fact, in 4 1/2 years, Deuce is only 2300 yards behind Smith, who has played for 9 years. That's COUNTING Deuce not playing when he was a rookie, and getting hurt for the year this year.

Cory Dillon was only slightly more effective than Antawain last year (many analysts have said that Dillon was not an upgrade).

Sure, if you consider slightly better 1635 yards and 12 Tds as opposed to 642 yards and 3 TDs, which was Smith's last yea with NE, when they won the Superbowl. 1000 more yards and 9 more TDs is only "slightly" better? Harsh standards.

All I know about the Charger is that the Chargers' D was miserable (worse than the Saints, even), which accounts for their 4-12 seasons with LT.

They weren't worse than the Saints. We were dead last in total yards last year. But, I thought all they needed was a great RB.and that would be enough. But they were 5-11 in 2001 with LT, and they had the 10th ranked defense. Go with Leinart.
