1. SF I'm still amazed that Shawn Hill has started games in the NFL. Smith is a bigger bust than Russell.
2. Clev......Anderson and Quinn, nothing more needs to be said
3. Oakland....Russell is looking like a HUGE bust, not that he has a chance in Oak
4. Jacksonville...who backs up Garrard?
5. Carolina....who backs up Delhomme?

1) We don't know that they haven't contacted Vick's agent.
2) Does Vick really improve the quarterback situation in any of these places?
I mean, you have to weigh the positives (the talent) with the negatives (pretty much everything else). Picking up Vick for the reasons you describe would be the trademark of a bad organization.
Which is not to say that there aren't good situations for Michael Vick, just that, if you are the one of the first three teams on your list, you'd like to at least see what you have in Smith/Russell/Quinn first.
Some would say that a player or two of those have already busted, but to act like Vick is a better option, that's just being hypocritical. Don't replace your homegrown unproven talent with an external unproven talent that happens to be a felon.
Now if you are Pittsburgh, New England, or Carolina, be my guest. If you think you have a role for Vick, give him a shot. But don't take any of his crap trying to chase some mythical goal.
