When Nick Foles threw his record-trying seventh touchdown pass against Oakland, Michael Vick urged the Eagles coaches to give him a shot to set the standard.

Franchise quarterback in waiting.

"We all knew it was history," Vick said. "I wanted him to go for eight."

Vick, sidelined the past two weeks with a reoccurring hamstring issue, said he'd be naive not to think about his future.

But Vick feels he's a candidate to help some team at quarterback as long as there's a need at that position.

Looking at the quarterback play league-wide that shouldn't be an issue.

Vick is certain of one thing right now ... Foles is the real deal.

"Nick will be a franchise quarterback in the NFL," Vick said.

Vick had plenty more to say about his future in a piece appearing in the Delaware County Daily Times.
