PHILADELPHIA,PA – Michael Vick is the Philadelphia Eagles starting quarterback.
Head coach Chip Kelly said today before training camp practice that the 12-year veteran had won the competition with Nick Foles and will start the Sept. 9 season opener at Washington.
“I think Mike is ahead right now, and I think Nick made it very difficult there,” Kelly said of the decision, which came after 20 training camp practices and two preseason games. “It wasn’t where one guy went north and the other guy went south. I think both of them upped their games, but at this point in time, Mike’s ahead, and we want to move forward.”
Each quarterback started one game and both led two touchdown drives during their preseason work.
