    Training camp is right around the corner, meaning we can finally witness some of these quarterback competitions we've been prattling on about for months. One under-the-radar battle is about to take place in Buffalo, where Vince Young and Tyler Thigpen will fight for the Bills' No. 2 spot behind Ryan Fitzpatrick. "I think it's going to be a good competition," coach Chan Gailey told the team's official site. "Tyler has the advantage of being here and being in the system. Vince has the advantage of playing in games and the experience. Vince has more experience than Tyler. Tyler has more experience in this offense than Vince. So there's a trade-off there. It depends on who ends up doing the best job during the course of the entire preseason." Young was "inconsistent" during offseason practices, according to the site, but allowed his athleticism to take over (something Gailey values and knows how to coach). Thigpen was slowed by an abdominal injury during organized team activities and minicamp, but returned to take a decent amount of snaps. Basically, nothing has been decided.

    Ryan Fitzpatrick is a selfish, greedy heck....he should just roll over and let Vince Young start. Anyone that know football knows that Young should have been the first overall pick in the 2006 NFL Draft and should have won the Heisman instead of Reggie Bush.

    can't believe there is a competition between the two. Thought Young was better than that. Wow.

    A career QB rating difference of 1.9. Amazing to think that six years of intense mediocrity hasn't overwritten one great college season in the minds of many.

    There is no battle. Vince has got it locked up. Gailey coached Thigpen in KC when he was OC there. He is just being nice.

    The sheltered prima donna from Texas never grew up. I don't expect him to last much longer in the league at this point.

    Don't really matter. He has made a lot of money at this point.
