The Facts: What would a Rex Ryan April be like without a four-way quarterback battle? His offensive coordinator, Greg Roman, suggested as much on Monday when he said that Matt Cassel, EJ Manuel, Jeff Tuel and Tyrod Taylor will all get first-team reps in workouts.
Diehards Line:
This should come as no surprise. Ryan has made it clear the competition will be open. We'll go with NFL.com's take: "Our best guess at the moment is Cassel at the No. 1 spot, followed by Manuel and Taylor. ... Then again, Ryan is no stranger to the upset pick." Indeed, the coach has characterized Taylor as a "wildcard" in the competition. Whatever the case, nobody should expect a quick resolution. Meaning, we'll likely be following up well into training camp on this one.
