The team was in my neighborhood helping with cleanup today. Didn't get much of a chance to talk to many of them but I had to ask the guys that helped me about the QB situation. They all said it is very much a 3 man race and all are playing very well right now. Maybe they were coached on a few questions that would arise, but that's what they told me.
Side note: Robert Hunt is a BIG man! Dude is gonna be tough to move.
