Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean McCoy says that he does not care who is the starting quarterback for the team.

LeSean McCoy has said that he "doesn't care" who is chosen to be the Philadelphia Eagles starting quarterback for the 2013 NFL season.

Michael Vick and Nick Foles are competing for the role, with Vick having lost the job last season after sustaining a concussion.

The running back told reporters: "That's why they pay [head coach] Chip Kelly the big bucks, to pick the quarterback. Whoever he picks, I'm fine with. As long as I get my carries, I don't care who they pick.

"You get used to everybody, and a guy might go down. Last year, we had so many guys go down. I think if we practised that way last year, we would have been a lot better.

"You're comfortable with the way the guys block, or you're comfortable getting a pass from Nick Foles, or whoever it is."

The Eagles also have quarterbacks Matt Barkley, Dennis Dixon and G.J. Kinne on their roster.
