Warren Zevon Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) Saying Lamar Jackson is a better passer than Josh Allen at this stage of their career is as dumb as saying Josh Allen is a better passer than Lamar Jackson at this stage of their career.

I'll admit, living in the Philadelphia area I suffer from sports-radio envy. You listen to the guys on the fanatic or WIP, and you get really excellent insight. You listen to WGR? You get Mike Schopp. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndirish1978 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Giving that guy attention is not the move. If you don't like Schopp, best thing is to not talk about him and don't listen to his show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshAllenHasBigHands Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 He is why I don't listen to WGR anymore. Well, him and Jeremy. I've never really told anyone that is why, never complained to the station, anything like that. There isn't really anything that can be done. But, I can not listen and refuse to give them my business. It gives me that little bit of comfort. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSHMEAB Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) Jackson has a higher passer rating? I don't know that I agree with the statement, but it's certainly not an outrageous one. JA showed me a ton yesterday. This is the first time I've felt like the kid has a chance. But facts are facts. They both have a great deal of work to do.

I am just stating the obvious. Ratings are all that matter in radio. If few people listen, then they make changes. Alternately, listen to SiriusXM NFL channel. Or, even ESPN radio (has to be on somewhere in WNY, right?) Just stop listening to those particular idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fridge Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 This is not a WGR message board, and yet every week people create threads in here as if we all tune in. I don't mind Schopp or Parker, or any of the on-air talent in Buffalo. Do you know how hard it is to talk about two sports teams for 20 hours a week? I don't really listen that often, and if they're going in a direction I don't care for, I turn it off. Is that so hard to do? If I disagree with someone I don't think they're an idiot for that reason alone. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only WTF thing about that play was throwing in the direction of Kelvin Benjamin, who flat-out refuses to finish a route. If that's the most WTF thing you can say about the kid, then he's well on his way. Personally, I think that's a massive reach. A WTF play is the interception he threw into the endzone in GB in week 4--one that gave away points. Expecting your "No. 1 WR" to finish a route without letting the corner undercut you is called playing football in the NFL. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshAllenHasBigHands Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 To be clear, its not about right and wrong. Its about how condescending and self-righteous he is. For example, I don't mind that he is an analytics advocate, hating concepts like culture or momentum. Those are perfectly reasonable positions. What I hate is that he thinks that anyone who doesn't agree with him is "obviously" wrong or a fool. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrtonHearsaWho Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Mercifully I live in Rochester so I only listen to Schopp during post game on WCMF (I mean could still listen to him in other ways but I don't hate myself enough to do that). I honestly believe that a) he really is not that big of a fan of the Bills and b) he genuinely hates his job. The utter disdain and contempt that he seems to have with seemingly EVERY caller is insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was debating this and it certainly looks like the fat slob gives up on the play and barely even pretends to pursue him after the INT but I stil think it was a bad pass, i thought the DB had inside leverage the entire way, KB should have been there to at least compete for the ball/play defender.

Oh don't get me wrong, it wasn't a great throw, but if you look at when he released the ball versus when Howard breaks on it, I think there's a reasonable expectation that Benjamin would actually break on it as well. Instead he just jogs out the string in typical I-don't-give-a-crap fashion. It surely could've been a pick anyway, but maybe if the guy would break on the ball and make some kind of effort to use his 6'5", 240 (plus?) frame to gain position on the ball he'd have--in the very least--made it a contested play.

theRalph Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 The TITLE is so very inspired. I just turned them off. Bulldog, one can tell, so very much wants to tell Schopp how really full of ***** he is. But he won't. He should just smack him once...it'd do them both worlds of good. Josh Allen is money. Anyone can see it. Shopp hates this. What can one expect from this new-age analytics twit that doesn't believe in culture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsfaninChicago Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I stopped listening more than 10 years ago. They did way to many non-sports segments. I remember I would listen waiting for them to get through the mindleas chatter to get to the sports topic of the day only to realize the mindless chatter was the topic of the day. If I remember correctly they had segments about favorit maple syrup, Schopp’s wife’s tennis lessons and a guy in East Amherts with giant dredlocks. I remember listening to a segment on Sirius where they were talking about the Bills and I honestly thought man wouldn’t it be great if we had a station where I could listen to Buffalo sports talk? I turned it off and I don’t miss it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want homerism to make you feel better that's what John Murphy and whatever other team employee he is paired with provide. Honestly I think they should have a frequent segment with a Jimmy Spags type to really whip the morons who call into the show into a frenzy and provide some perspective about what being negative about the team is like.?
