On the surface, the three-headed quarterback monster in Buffalo represents the kind of clusterfudge that only a couple of weeks of training camp and a few preseason games can resolve.
But new coach Chan Gailey plans to have a pretty good idea as to his depth chart by the time training camp launches.
“We will probably, by the time we get to training camp, have somebody that is going to work with the first group; somebody that’s going to work with the second group going in,” Gailey said Wednesday, according to Mark Gaughan of the Buffalo News. “If you try to get everybody equal shots from the first day of camp, then you probably get nobody ready, rather than getting three ready.
“So we’ll probably . . . decide, for lack of a better term, a pecking order for camp and then go from there,” Gailey added. “But it still will be open when we get to camp.”
The candidates continue to be Stanford-educated Trent Edwards, Harvard-educated Ryan Fitzpatrick, and Brian Brohm.
Some think Brohm can emerge as the starter, which says less about the other two than it does about Brohm, a guy who plunged from top-five prospect to late second round and who washed out of Green Bay after only one season.
