Nick Foles has a better chance to start for the Eagles than Michael Vick does. That's the opinion of Eagles beat writer Geoff Mosher of Comcast Sportsnet, who believes Vick has given up his lead in the race through the offseason workouts when both quarterbacks split reps 50-50.
Mosher also notes that the Eagles' willingness to draft rookie quarterback Matt Barkley proved that they're not necessarily looking for a quarterback with mobility to run the offense. Instead, they want a passer who can make quick, timely decisions and throw with accuracy, qualities Vick hasn't always had. Their salaries -- Vick makes the most of any Eagles quarterback -- is a factor, too.
Vick, Foles and Barkley will continue their battle when training camp opens in late July.
