He went to Philly 3rd on the depth chart, that seems like a place to bury Vick versus having him shine. In Buffalo, he would of been a starting QB nearly instantly. Cincy had Palmer, so odds are that Buffalo was going to end up with Vick to start. You can also see why the players didn't trust the owners, they do things to make sure that certain teams succeed. New Orleans gets crushed by hurricanes & wins a SB a few years later is another odd feat. I suspect a lean towards WWF wrestling here more than fate dictating how things go.
