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.
