Kelly not ready to name quarterback

Chip Kelly has said that he is not ready to name the Philadelphia Eagles' starting quarterback.

Michael Vick and Nick Foles have been competing for the role, each starting one pre-season game so far.

The head coach told the team's website: "I think we have two quarterbacks that can play in an NFL game, so we'll continue to look at it. But you feel better about that situation.

"Sometimes I think you get nervous because you don't have anybody and it's a default decision, but again, I thought both those guys played well.

"I've told you since day one, we're not going to make any rash decisions. You can put your pens down if you think we're naming a starting quarterback in this room right now."

The Eagles beat the Carolina Panthers 14-9 yesterday evening.
