Kelly says he is hoping Vick can be healthy enough to dress and be the primary backup this weekend, per Albert Breer, but Foles will undoubtedly be the man as the Eagles try to chase down an NFC East title.
Few players have been better than Foles this season. Despite not getting much attention with other quarterbacks putting up huge numbers around the league, Foles has thrown 16 touchdowns and no interceptions.
The former Arizona star has a QB rating of 128.0 to lead the league, giving the Eagles stability instead of the inconsistency of a turnover-prone Vick. Philadelphia currently sits at 6-5 and is tied for the division lead with the Dallas Cowboys. The two teams play each other the final week of the season at AT&T Stadium in Texas.
