Heading into his third season in the National Football League, Buffalo Bills quarterback Brian Brohm feels he's ready to compete for a starting job.

"I've had two years in the NFL to get used to everything and get myself prepared," Brohm told Michael Grant of The Courier-Journal. "I feel like I can fully compete for this starting job. I feel like I'm ready to take charge out there. We'll see what happens. But I feel like I'm at a position where I'll be able to put my best foot forward and make a legitimate run at the starting job."

A second-round pick out of Louisville by the Green Bay Packers in 2008, Brohm struggled in his first pre-season, completing just 45.2% of his pass attempts for 155 yards and an interception.

Brohm's rookie season was spent as the #3 quarterback in Green Bay, behind starter Aaron Rodgers and 2008 seventh-round pick Matt Flynn. Brohm's completion percentage improved the following pre-season (to 62.9%), but Brohm struggled with turnovers (3 interceptions) and was sacked 5 times, leading to a 54.5 passer rating.

Released and re-signed to the Packers' practice squad, Brohm opted to sign with the Bills' active roster in Week 11.

Injuries to Ryan Fitzpatrick and Trent Edwards thrust Brohm into his first NFL start in Week 16, where he completed 17-of-29 passes for 146 yards with a pair of interceptions in a 31-3 loss to the Atlanta Falcons in the Georgia Dome. Brohm took three kneel downs to close out the Bills' 2009 season, and enters 2010 in a three-way competition with Fitzpatrick and Edwards for the starting job in new coach Chan Gailey's offense.

Gailey plans to have a pecking order in place for training camp, which is expected to have Edwards first and either Brohm or Fitzpatrick second and third, with 2010 seventh-round pick Levi Brown fourth.

Due to Brown's upside, Edwards, Brohm, and Fitzpatrick may be vying for just two spots.

"This offense is suited for me," Brohm said. "I feel good about that. I'm comfortable with every read we have, every throw we have. Almost everything we've done, I've done it before either in college or my first couple of years in the league."
