They're doing the right thing, the politically prudent thing. The Bills are conducting a three-way quarterback tryout, a fair and open competition for the most important position on the team. Everyone gets an equal chance, and no one gets handed the job. Let the best man win.
This is the only way they could have done it after the previous regime's clumsy handling of the QB job. But let's not kid ourselves. The Bills can talk all they want about an open battle. The best outcome for the organization is for J.P. Losman to emerge as the No. 1 guy, and the sooner it happens the better. The job should be Losman's to lose. Sure, Losman might start bouncing every other throw to his receivers, or Craig Nall might suddenly turn into the next Brett Favre. But if all things are relatively equal, the Bills have to go with Losman.
