If Connell wins the job, Miller can also easily make the team as the No. 3 quarterback. If Miller wins the battle, O\u2019Connell could sent packing either in a trade or be released.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">O\u2019Connell has throw three interceptions this preseason, although he was better against San Francisco than hew as against Seattle in the preseason opener.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Miller was excellent against Seattle, but struggled some against the 49ers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Who do you see this battle ending.
