Les Bowen has a good write-up on the QB competition.
In spring work, Vick has been the most effortless thrower, Foles probably the most accurate. And Barkley is the only QB drafted by Kelly. Kelly hinted yesterday that he doesn’t want to just see the QBs throwing in pads – they don’t take hits in training camp, after all – he wants to see them in preseason games before he makes his decision. Vick clearly is not looking to wait that long; in a Comcast SportsNet interview yesterday, he said he was hoping Kelly would pick a starter before camp.
Vick may be frustrated, but Chip Kelly isn’t going to rush this decision. This is way too important to be casual about.
I don’t think Vick has ever been in this position before. When he came to the Eagles he was clearly a backup. Then he was clearly the starter. I don’t think he ever had to wonder what his position was on the team.
I don’t really know what I’m hoping to see from him. I think I’d most like to see him with quiet confidence that he will win the job rather than frustration that it wasn’t handed to him, but a few quotes aren’t enough to judge his true attitude.
This is uncharted territory for him.
