The Facts:
Manuel figures to be a bigger factor in training camp, but this offseason is about learning for him. The Bills' coaching staff has been working on Manuel's footwork and fundamentals. Meanwhile, Kevin Kolb and Tarvaris Jackson each are competing to provide the best veteran option to hold down the fort until Manuel is ready.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
For now, the Bills' starting quarterback competition appears to be a two-man race. Jackson and Kolb evenly split time as the first quarterback through their rotation at Thursday's organized team activity, the team's eighth of the offseason, according to Chris Brown of BuffaloBills.com. As NFL.com's Gregg Rosenthal notes, there is an assumption that Manuel will play sooner than later because he was the No. 16 pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, but he's also a quarterback who will need refinement at the pro level -- something even his biggest supporters admit. Most observers expect either Kolb or Jackson to be the Bills' starter in Week 1, with the winner prevailing in training camp. But Manuel is widely expected to take over as soon as he can.
