Nick Foles and Michael Vick.

Michael Vick saluted Nick Foles for winning the starting quarterback job with the Eagles.

Foles is having a monster season and deserves the job. Vick finally feels completely healed from the hamstring he injured twice this season.

But Vick insists he still has a lot of football left, first as a starter and beyond that as a backup.

By Vick's calculations he could start for another couple of years before deciding whether to enter the next phase of what has been an 11-year tour of the NFL.

"I said two good ones," said Vick, slated to become a free agent after this season. "After that it will be my 13^th, 14^th year."

Vick will be 34 next spring. He sounded believable about doing the backup quarterback thing.

"I’d be a good backup," he said. "I’m coming off the bench to win some games."

More on this in the Wednesday edition of the Delco Times.
