Good teams don’t have as many structured position battles as bad teams.
Good teams don’t have quarterback competitions because they already have an established high-level quarterback. They definitely don’t have three-way quarterback competitions. So while coaches will trot out the “competition every day,” “iron sharpens iron,” and “play the best man” tropes, the more good players a team has, the fewer question marks exist on the depth chart of that team.
Though it’s true the 2023 Buffalo Bills don’t have training camp positional battles around every corner, that means the fans can be more hyper-focused on the few that do exist.
