While I suppose it's preferable to the 50 people a day calling WIP to say the exact same three things about the Eagles (Get a big time wide receiver! Run the ball more! Spend more money!), one caller's laughable trade scenario on Howard Eskin's show last week just slayed me. He suggested the Eagles call up Atlana and offer Donovan McNabb, Brian Westbrook, and Reggie Brown for the #3 pick in the draft (to be used on Darren McFadden), D'Angelo Hall, and Alge Crumpler.
I'm sure if Tom Heckert takes the Atlanta GM job, as has been rumored, he'd be interested in that. But no one else would.

But heck yes, Atlanta would take that deal. You could probably even take your pick of Atlanta's current crop of QB's to tide you over. (Chris Redman had a couple of decent games to finish up the year.)
Heck, you could even have the rights to Michael Vick.
