According to NFL insider and ESPN’s reporter Adam Schefter Chip Kelly says after evaluation, Michael Vick will be the teams starting quarterback for the Monday Night Football opening game against the Washington Washington Football Team.

The decision comes after a very competitive QB competition during the preseason, in which Vick showed a little more promise than back up Nick Foles.

The Eagles look to rebound this season, after a horrible 4-12 record and the firing of former head coach Andy Reid. Chip Kelly looks to take the birds in a new direction and Mike Vick seems to be the captain of his ship…for now.

Kelly says after evaluation, Vick will be the team's starting quarterback.
