Michael Vick doesn't want to start, Carmelo Anthony trade, MNF

I watched the Michael Vick interview and somehow found myself convinced that Vick actually has no problem backing up Kevin Kolb.  Normally, when hearing that a player will support another starter, I figure it is hogwash, but in this case my bs-meter has yet to ring.  I believe this for two reasons.
1) Michael Vick lost enough in his arrest to make him rethink a lot of things.  Two years of salary.  His popularity.  His status as an elite starter.  Michael Vick can't get any of that back without playing by some other peoples' rules.  Vick wants to start again, but he knows that he needs to show that he can be a team player to get a chance.  He mentions in the interview that he hopes a team gives him a chance - and with his progression as a pocket passer (and probably the fact that he's self aware of his inability to take over games just by running), and the fact that he's deferring to Kolb when he could assert that he is every bit as capable as a starter, he will probably be given that opportunity.
2) Michael Vick needs a paycheck and to remain a factor in the game.  You don't just forget what it was like from a few years absence.
Teams that I think may try Vick as a full time starter:
KC, Cleveland, Philly

Carmelo Anthony clearly doesn't want to stay in Denver.  If he did, he would've signed an extension (like Durant did so quickly in OKC).  Denver is smart for trying to get something for him, but I'm not sure how much they can.  I feel like Carmelo is at the lower end of the elite tier - which is still elite, don't confuse this as a slight against him - but it doesn't appear that he will ever lead a team by himself.  He just doesn't have that type of talent, defensively or intangibles.  Carmelo can score, maybe better than anyone not named KD, LBJ or Dwade, but he's not going to win a championship (or compete for one) unless there is someone else leading his squad.  Unfortunately Billups was a bit past his prime when he came to Denver and Iverson was wayyyy past his.

MNF tonight:
I probably won't tune in, and I should probably let Raffy handle the NFL picking in the future, considering that I thought NE would roll over NYJ or that Indianapolis would struggle.  In any case, New Orleans is still the defending champs, so while I don't think last weeks game was representative of this 49ers team, I don't think they come up with the win here.  NO 26-21

Power Polls tomorrow
