    Michael Vick credits the Philadelphia Eagles with making him a better quarterback. But he was not convinced at first that Philly was the best place for him to resume his football career after nearly two years in federal prison, he told GQ Magazine for its September issue.

    In an interview, the Eagles quarterback said the Cincinnati Bengals and Buffalo Bills initially seemed like better options. Those teams wanted him and might have made him their starting quarterback, while the Eagles, at the time, already had an established veteran starter in Donovan McNabb and a starter-in-waiting in Kevin Kolb.

    That was well before the Eagles traded McNabb and Kolb got hurt, setting the stage for Vick's remarkable comeback.
