Buffalo's kickers start off the list of camp battles and it ends with - surprise, surprise - the quarterback situation. "I'm fascinated to see coach Doug Marrone's offense in the NFL, and I'm intrigued to see how quickly Manuel can adapt to the pro level. This is a legitimate 50-50 competition, which is rare at quarterback. Yes, the 2013 Buffalo Bills are interesting!" Thanks for that throwaway sentence, Gregg.
