UPDATE: According to ESPN AFC East blogger Tim Graham, Buffalo Bills head coach Chan Gailey won't name a starting QB before training camp, and even then, it will still be open competition to see who starts Week 1. In answering reader questions on Twitter, ESPN analyst Herm Edwards wrote that Brian Brohm will certainly be given the opportunity to seize the starting job this offseason. Early reports are that Brohm appears comfortable in Gailey's new system, so he might not be ready to concede the job to Trent Edwards just yet.

There's a great opportunity for Brohm and Edwards to hit the reset button on their careers this offseason, since the new Gailey regime is taking over in Buffalo. Edwards is who we thought he was, and although he's not the most exciting choice, it seems as though he'll wind up as the man under center this fall. That said, Brohm will have the chance to make his case this summer, and recently, he was taking first-team reps in both 7-on-7 drills and full-bore 11-on-11s as well, per Mark Gaughan of the Buffalo News.
Giving his appraisal of the Bills' QB picture as it stood on June 14, Sal Maiorana of the Democrat and Chronicle reiterated his prediction that Edwards will be the starter for the Bills this season, but he is holding out hope that Brohm will one day show some of the talent that convinced the Packers to use a second-round pick on him in 2008.
ESPN's John Clayton thinks that confidence could be the issue with Brohm:

Destined for the UFL?
"It was pretty clear in Green Bay that Matt Flynn, a seventh-round choice, looked better than Brohm. That was noticeable from the first minicamp in Green Bay. It's hard to say what went wrong so far with Brohm. He seemed to lack confidence in the opportunities he has had. That's one of the problems in the NFL. If you don't grab those opportunities, they'll get away from you, and all of a sudden you find yourself on a UFL roster hoping to get back into the NFL."
