Buffalo Bills quarterback situation

Tyrod Taylor EJ Manuel Matt Cassel

Bills head coach Rex Ryan isn’t about to tip his hand when it comes to the team’s ultra-complicated quarterback competition. While most figure EJ Manuel is out of the mix with Tyrod Taylor and Matt Cassel vying for the starting job, the first-year head coach left open the idea that he might play all three with the first-team offense this week (via WKBW.com).

Cassell started the team’s preseason opener, but didn’t play a snap in the second game. Meanwhile, Taylor saw himself under center to begin last week’s game. How the Bills dole out reps this week could be an indication of where they are headed regarding the competition. Then again, we already know the game Rex likes to play. He’s all about a competitive advantage. The longer he holds off on naming a starter, the less opportunity the Indianapolis Colts have of preparing for one guy.
