Bring it on. That’s the attitude Philadelphia’s Nick Foles is taking to the quarterback competition with Michael Vick and Matt Barkley.
"I have all the confidence in the world in my ability ... I still respect the players around me, and I know what they're capable of doing,” Foles told Philly.com. “But at the end of the day, I'm not here to be a backup. I'm here to be the guy.”
Foles started six games as a rookie last year, throwing for 1,699 yards and six touchdowns with five interceptions.
Barkley, a fourth-round pick out of USC, believes it’s a three-man race.
"The coaches have said that it's kinda there,” he said. “My mindset is that I'm in it, and I've got to do everything to prove to the coaches that (the job) is mine."
Vick did not talk to the media Monday.
