Like Just a Fan suggested, i will do that week by week. Starting by day one, not a lot of news about VY today. He was intercepted twice early in the 7 on 7 session. The first pick was a tipped pass by rookie LB Tank Carder who ended up in fellow rookie CB Ron Brooks hands. The second one was a bad pick six. The pass was intended to TE Brock, who LB Tank Carder jumped in front of him and made the play. It looked like he worked with the 3rd offense today. No news or info about Thigpen performance. Fitz had a good day with Stevie Johnson on fire balling him out like he always does. Nothing to worry about in my opinion, VY only needs to improve day after day, to be in position to play well in preseason games. Thigpen sucks even in preseason, and i really belive VY can play better than Fitz in preseason, he only needs to play with confidence and take care off the ball like in his Titans days.

To end day one report, some comments from people who were in attendance saying Thigpens was very inconsistent and missing easy throwns, well, just like i can expect from him. They said that despist VY struggles, he connected few good deep balls too.

Good morn all here a good Day 1 report Training Camp Report – Day 1 However, and please take this with a grain of salt because it is the first day of practice, I thought Vince Young out-practiced Fitzpatrick today, or maybe he just came into the afternoon with more to prove. Either way, his throws were tight and accurate, he led his receivers well and he just looked confident. We’ll see how this play develops, but right now, he has to be the favorite to be the number two guy. www.buffalobillsdraft.com/2012/07/training-camp-report-day-1/

Day 2 after that, I walked back over to the offense where they were participating in 2-on-1 drills (QB/WR vs. DB). Good news: in both short and long routes, Fitzpatrick and Young were pretty much perfect, Fitz being the clear winner of the two. I wish I could say the same for Thigpen and Smith, but I guess that’s why they decided to bring in Young. The #1 and #2 QB’s had sharp, accurate passes, with Fitzpatrick looking particularly solid in the lob throws, and even more so with Donald Jones. Thigpen and Smith just looked sloppy, but that could of been exaggerated considering the different caliber of wide outs they were throwing to. www.buffalobillsdraft.com/2012/07/training-camp-report-day-2/

Day 2 is on the books and i had few news today. The only reports for now are the one Just a Fan posted above. Great to know VY outperformed Thigpen by a good margin. Tomorrow will be the first day in pads, looking foward to that.

Friday Bills GM Buddy Nix talked about Vince again. Here what he said: Bills GM Buddy Nix raved to QMI Agency on Friday about Young’s talent.
"This guy is a tremendous athlete," Nix said. "He’s got great speed and size. And another nice thing with him, if you get your starting quarterback hurt, and the second guy has to go in — he’s a guy that has experience and has won in this league."
While Young came to Buffalo with a reputation of having not always been the most dedicated player with the best team attitude, let’s say, Nix said he has seen nothing of the kind since Young’s arrival.
"He has done more than asked," Nix said. "He comes early, he stays late. We’ve got no complaints.
"One of my close friends is (University of Texas head coach) Mack Brown. We coached together twice. Mack is like Vince’s godfather. Mack recommended highly and told me what kind of kid he was, and it’s all proven out to be true."
Nice words.

First news about day 3 of training camps.
First practice on pads. VY was back with 3rd team offense. First reports are Thigpen was awfull throwing a lot of INTs. Fitz had a though time against new stellar Bills D-line. VY had a very good scramble on 11 on 11. That's the wildcard VY brings to the table. Wether the others QBs were struggling against big pressure, VY can move the chains with his legs. I'm sure it's just the start of a lot of good news.

Day 4. VY back with the 2s Twitter info, one about VY with a huge gain on a designed keeper. Saying he's a nightmare to the defense on the open field. Another saying he hitted rookie WR TJ Graham on stride for a TD. Looks like a good day for VY.

More day 4 newa.
VY ha a good practice, completing nice deep passes to TJ Graham for a TD, Marcus Easley, Kamar Aiken and Naaman Roosvelt. A friend of buffalorumblings blog who was at the practice said it was clear that VY is the best QB over Thigpen, completing nice passes and having big gains with his legs. It looks like this was the first practice that VY started to really separate himself from Thigpen.

Jay Skurski from Buffalonews had that to say about young today:
"- Vince Young took his first snap during 11-on-11s off the left side for a huge gain. Young's an amazing athlete to watch in person. So very big and strong, yet maddeningly inconsistent as a quarterback"
We known VY is way more consistent on games than practices.

Article about VY and Thigpen: www.buffalonews.com/sports/bills-nfl/article977585.eceYoung has a strong arm and throws a nice ball. But developing the precision an NFL quarterback needs in a quick-passing offense is not easy. How is his rhythm coming along? "He's getting closer," Lee said. "We're not there yet, we're getting closer." The 6-foot-5, 232-pound Young already has shown his great athleticism. He had a nifty evasion of a collapsing pocket on Saturday and burst up the middle of the field for a big gainer. He had two good runs Sunday when the defenders had their backs turned, evoking memories of a wild, 36-yard TD run he had in leading Tennessee to a 30-29 win over the Bills in 2006
