That\u2019s why everybody involved is excited about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Signs would seem to point to the veteran Cassel being the favorite to open the season as the Bills starter as Manuel continues to be a rumored cut by the end of training camp. Tuel on the other hand has proven to be ineffective during his brief time in the NFL and Taylor thus far has proven to be nothing more than a journeyman backup.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s been exactly what we expected,\u201d said Whaley of Cassel. \u201cA veteran force who can galvanize the team and he can teach the young guys the intricate things that quarterbacks do that doesn\u2019t take place on the field. Bringing receivers in and talking about preferences and what he\u2019s seeing. Basically a lot of the things that people on the outside don\u2019t see. He\u2019s done that and he\u2019s not afraid of the challenge. He\u2019s ready to compete.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"jp-post-flair\" class=\"sharedaddy sd-like-enabled sd-sharing-enabled\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who is the favorite to be the starting quarterback for the Buffalo Bills?
