Worst WGR call ever

[WIDE LEFT]

So this genius calls into Sal’s show this morning with this wonderful take. “Before the trade deadline Bills should trade for a QB”. His reason - Josh Allen needs competition so he doesn’t get too comfortable & and doesn’t get too careless ie turnovers. Initially Sal thought this was a joke, but no, our caller was serious. When he picked himself off the floor, Sal pointed out that JA was having an MVP like season. But there is so much more wrong with this take. Let’s start with the fact that what team with a QB good enough to give Allen competition would trade that guy. Who is this great QB that could threaten Allen, but doesn’t start for his own team. Unsurprisingly our genius caller did not name a candidate. You have to wonder how long this guy waited on hold to share this wonderful idea.

I missed that one. I did like them clowning on Collinsworth, though. Secret Bagent Man.

Seems sorta par for the course for talk radio callers.

[I'm Spartacus]

I wish we would have gotten a better back up QB than Kyle Allen though. He scares me if Josh goes down with an injury.

[BearNorth]

Not to mention that yesterday Stafford, Cousins, Tyrod, and Pickett all got dinged, and wouldn't be surprised if Cousins and Tyrod are done for the season [might be career ending for Tyrod].

Did WGR fire their Call Screener?

The more you listen to sports radio, the more you realize that if you are of above average intelligence, it will be exceedingly hard to think like the majority of callers who call in and try to make sense of their "logic" since it makes no sense other than to people like them...which unfortunately, are a lot of the American population these days.

 

Sometimes I listen to people calling in and I just can't even get myself to a spot where any of what they said makes any sense whatsoever...but the problem is, trying to explain to them why would leave them with glassed over eyes and not understanding what you are saying anyway, so the best thing is not to even bother saying anything to them and just move on 😂

How about just hanging up (or suggesting Mahomes be the back-up😜).

[GunnerBill]

Probably drunk.

[QB Bills]

That was me and I stand by my call. Josh knows he's got zero competition back there. It was different when he knew trubisky or keenum could take over at any time and do as well or better than he did. So he had to keep his head more in the game. Now he's free to galivant at celeb parties and golf on off days instead of watch film or sit in the cold tub. I wrote a letter to the Bills detailing this also. I'll report back once they reply.

There have been a few bad ones already this morning.  Sal was on a heater a few minutes ago about a tweet he got related to wanting any defensive player over DHop (paraphrasing).

Oh, so kinda like here sometimes?🤣

Yeah, well they cut me off before I could suggest they bring back Brian Brohm. He never got the chance he deserved. They bring Brohm back and Allen is on borrowed time...

Yea but most of us spend enough time on here(have been here long enough) to usually know where a specific user is going with their comments based on past comments/interactions with them.  Doesn't mean it makes sense but at least know where they stand regarding a certain player, coach, team, etc.

I can’t believe Josh ever felt threatened by trubisky or keenum

Definitely true. Sometimes you can just look at the thread topic, who replied and you don't even have to read them sometimes. 😉

 

PS. This wasn't directed at you.

That and sometimes they wouldn’t listen anyway. They’re just waiting for you to stop talking so they can talk again. 
 

I used to like debating when I was younger. Now once I realize the person is incapable of listening or understanding I bow out. Not enough time on this planet for that type of shenanigans. 
 

One of the reasons I refuse to debate certain topics ie religion, politics, etc. they don’t want to hear a counter to their points. 
 

It’s rare to find someone that disagrees with you that will actually listen and discuss hot buttons.

I suspect that shows like that actually want people to call in with ... let's just say "unconventional" ... ideas. It probably increases ratings by making the other listeners feel good about themselves by comparison, in the same way that everyone on The Simpsons (except Lisa) makes us feel good about ourselves.
