Five! I figured my ONE box was a valuable collectors item. Now I'm thinking it's worth about $2.99 as there are probably about 100,000 boxes sitting in food pantry's all across Western NY. Hell if the apocalypse happens civilization will be reborn by those of us eating our Flutie Flakes when the food runs out.

To be clear: * I think the obsession with Mahommes by some Bills fans is weird because there's nothing that can be done to change what happened. It's water under the damn bridge. If NFL front offices knew that Mahommes would have the year he's having now he would have been the #1 pick in the 2017 draft. That he wasn't is simply a testimony to how smart Reid is when it comes to QB's. * But NONE of this has anything to do with Allen. The Bills did not pick Allen over Mahommes they picked Allen over Jackson & Rosen.

Are you saying that Allen was trending to be the #1 pick in 2018 in 2017? I watched a couple of games of his while at Wyoming and while the talk was about his great potential I don't remember anyone saying that he was in the running as the top pick. I could be wrong but Allen flew up the draft chart after he started working out for teams and they saw first hand his elite arm talent and how after just a little work with Jordan Palmer had significantly improved his footwork. Mahommes had completed his first year in the NFL at the time that anyone started to seriously suggest that Allen might be the top pick. As it was two QB's went ahead of Allen.

Exactly right. Sure blame the Bills management for this, though it doesn't change a thing, because no matter how much we wish Mahomes played for the Bills, he never will. More importantly, Allen is not part of this discussion. The Bills did not choose Allen over Mahommes. They choose Allen over Rosen & Jackson and if either of these two start playing like Mahommes then Bills fans can B word & moan. Right now it just strikes me as a weird obsession.

No it wasn't. When Mahommes was drafted we didn't even know Allen was coming out for the 2018 draft. Had Allen not impressed the Bills prior to the draft we would have taken Josh Rosen or maybe dealt up to grab Darnold. Again, the ONLY Bills QB you can compare Mahomes to is Tyrod. Because if the bills were not satisfied with Tyrod at that time then they may have taken Mahommes or Watson. Now if you want to criticize the Bills front office & caches for not appreciating how great Mahommes was going to be, go for it. Andy Reid deserves all the credit in the world for spotting this diamond in the rough. But it has NOTHING to do with Josh Allen today.
