Nick Foles will be a franchise QB

Chip Kelly doesn't have to acknowledge the transition in order to make it real for Michael Vick.

The play before Vick reinjured his hamstring, Oct. 27 against the Giants, he was the Eagles' unquestioned starter. Nick Foles had played horribly in a loss to the Cowboys the week before, ultimately leaving the game with a concussion. Vick was back in the saddle as the offense's veteran leader.

But Vick pulled up lame on a late first quarter run, and everything changed. Foles threw seven touchdown passes the next week against the Raiders, three more in Green Bay. The Eagles won both games. Vick, 33, did not bounce back quickly from the hamstring problem that has now cost him 4 3/4 games, soon to be 5 3/4, as the Eagles face the Redskins going into the bye.

I asked Vick Wednesday if it's tough right now not to think about where his career might be going. He [url=http://www.cowboysnflofficialauthentic.com/authentic-zack-martin-jersey.htm... is here on a one year deal. The only question for the Eagles seems to be whether Foles is Chip Kelly's QB going forward, or whether he drafts one in the spring.

"Not really. It's a reality for me," Vick said. "I'd be naive not to think about where my career could be going, but the thing is, I know I can still play. I feel good about what I still can do, and that's what's most important."
Is Foles the franchise QB the Eagles need?

"I think so," Vick said. "Nick will be a franchise quarterback in the NFL."
Is there any way Vick stays here [url=http://www.cowboysnflofficialauthentic.com/authentic-demarcus-lawrence-jers... in 2014?

"I couldn't say," Vick said. "The only thing I can see myself doing is just trying to help our quarterbacks prepare and be the best that they can be. I'm trying to help this organization win every week in the best way I can . As long as there's a need for quarterbacks, hopefully, I can always be a candidate. That comes through hard work, preparation and taking care of my body. As of right now, I've just got to finish the last six games strong with this team and see where we go."
Vick said that on the sideline in Oakland, he wanted to see [url=http://www.cowboysnflofficialauthentic.com/authentic-demarcus-lawrence-jers... Lawrence Womens Jersey Foles make history, not just tie it.

"I wanted to go for eight. I wanted the coach to put him back in and go for eight. I mean, we all had a chance to witness something that's never been done."
Linebacker Jake Knott said he tweaked his injured hamstring in practice last week and won't be back until after the bye. Jason Peters (quad, pec), Earl Wolff (knee) and Mychal Kendricks (knee) did not practice Wednesday.
