    We told you last week about "Nick Foles Fever" sweeping the greater Philadelphia area. That post came before yet another sterling performance by Foles, this time as a starter in the Eagles' 27-10 victory over the Cleveland Browns.

    It seemed like only a matter of time before Foles officially passed Mike Kafka on the depth chart. That time arrived Tuesday.

    Eagles coach Andy Reid admitted Foles is the top backup quarterback "right now," according to Geoff Mosher of CSNPhilly.com.

    Has he really looked that good? I saw the highlights and that stuff. Obv he doesn't have a threat to be starter but if vick goes down a couple games, and Foles tears it up, does vick come back to starter when healthy? I honestly don't see you guys winning anything with Vick as QB. Just my opinion

    He's looked good based on the expectations of him coming into camp bolstered by the bad defenses he's faced. He's shown composure and accuracy more than expected. He's not the second coming of Christ. He could easily crash and burn.

    As far as never winning anything with Vick, you're probably right. A healthy Vick could probably win it all with a perfect team around him. He does not have that here. He gives us a better chance this year than Foles though.
