Michael Vick is not just competing for the starting job, he is also competing for the rest of his NFL future. Kelly's decision to retain both Nick Foles and draft Matt Barkley shows that he only views Vick as a short-term solution.
But even though Vick has the advantage in experience and athleticism, he will need to battle it out in training camp just like anyone else on the team.
After a stellar 2010 season in which he was the runner-up for the MVP award, Vick struggled in both 2011 and 2012. Now, with a new head coach, Vick has the opportunity to prove that his 2010 season was not a fluke and that he can still succeed given the right scheme and coaching.
But he cannot perform well if he is not the starter. And while he is likely the favorite to win the starting job due to his experience, Vick is still feeling a great deal of pressure because of everything that is at stake.
