CSN: Eagles sticking with Vick, offensive coordinator

Michael Vick will remain the Eagles? starting quarterback, and offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg will remain the offensive play caller when the Eagles return from their bye week, a team source familiar with head coach Andy Reid?s thinking said Thursday.

?

Reid said Tuesday, when he fired defensive coordinator Juan Castillo, that he planned to examine every facet of the team?s operation during the bye week.

?

He did not rule out anything, including replacing the struggling Vick with rookie Nick Foles or veteran Trent Edwards and assuming play-calling duties from Mornhinweg, who has held them since the middle of the 2006 season.

?

But Reid has since determined that Vick, who has committed 13 turnovers in six games, and Mornhinweg, who is overseeing the NFL?s 31st-ranked scoring offense, will remain in their current positions.

?

The Eagles, 3-3, have lost three of their last four games after a 2-0 start. They return to action a week from Sunday against the Falcons, the only undefeated team in the NFL, and then a Monday night game in New Orleans, who are 26-9 at home since 2008.?

The Jaguars, averaging 13 points per game, are the only NFL team scoring points at a slower pace than the Eagles, who have 103 points in six games -- 17.2 per game.

?

Vick, 32, has committed at least two turnovers in five of six games this year -- every one but the win over the Giants. He?s lost five fumbles and thrown eight interceptions.

?

In 2010, Vick won eight of 11 starts, with 21 touchdowns and six interceptions and just four lost fumbles.

?

Since then, he?s 10-9 with 26 touchdowns and 22 interceptions and 13 lost fumbles.

?

Vick has been sacked 17 times, sixth-most in the NFL, and his 59 percent completion percentage is 23rd-best in the league.

?

The Eagles have scored fewer than 20 points in four of six games and have yet to score more than 24 points.

?

Their 17 turnovers are second-most in the NFL (the Chiefs have committed 21) and their most through six games since 1993, when they had 20.
