Bills Camp is officially underway and along with it competition between quarterbacks Trent Edwards, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Brian Brohm.

The quarterback pecking order that everyone has anxiously been waiting all summer to hear has finally been revealed, and Trent Edwards is at the top of the list.

"I was pretty confident that I would be the guy and I'm hoping to be the guy at the end of this camp, but I think if you ask that question to Ryan or Brian or Levi, I think they would say the same thing that they want to be out there with the ones. I know it's a competitive situation. I need to use that to my benefit. I feel like I feed off of that," Edwards said.

"He just made a lot more plays that we thought were positive plays during minicamp and OTAs. He did a good job of handling the team, he did a good job when he had the threes as well as when he had the ones and that was impressive to me," said Bills Head Coach Chan Gailey.

Ryan Fitzpatrick and Brian Brohm, meanwhile, will rotate reps with the twos and threes as the pair still has a shot in what Chan Gailey deemed an "open competition."

"This is year six for me never going into the season as a starter and I've started a good number of games now. It's just something you have to deal with. It's obviously better to get more reps, but that's just what I've dealt with my whole career," Fitzpatrick said.

Trent Edwards did admit he probably got a bit overwhelmed and stressed during last year's up and down season, but said it has proved to be a good thing in the long run as he looks to hold on to that number one quarterback spot.
