"I think his play has even exceeded expectations over the last two weeks," Reid said. "This has nothing to do with Kevin Kolb's injury. ... He's done a phenomenal job for us here. The future of Kevin Kolb is not slighted by this one bit. This is more about Michael Vick and his accelerated play. He's sitting there as possibly the hottest quarterback in the NFL at this time. ... Very few QBs can go out and play the way he played the last couple weeks and do the things that he did." On the season, Vick is 37-of-58 (63.8 completion percentage) for 459 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions or turnovers of any kind. ... So, Vick will make his second start of the season, and first as the official No. 1 QB, this Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
