The NFL regular season is drawing closer and the Buffalo Bills have no idea who their starting quarterback is going to be when Week 1 rolls around.
Hoping to compete for a playoff spot behind their ferocious defense, the Bills must choose between EJ Manuel, Tyrod Taylor or Matt Cassel to “lead” the team . The mess is similar to the one new Bills coach Rex Ryan had in his last stop with the Jets.
The Bills face the Steelers in Week 3 of the preseason on Saturday and it will be an open audition again for the three quarterbacks. The Steelers made news this week when they added veteran quarterback Mike Vick to the team. The Bills considered adding Vick, but chose not to. Vick has practiced with the team and should see time on the field in this game.
