Logic Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 It's really only good listening for comedy purposes. I remember the year Mitch Trubisky was our backup the first time around. After a not-so-great outing by Josh (I don't remember which game), there was at least one caller very earnestly and pointedly suggesting that we bench Josh for Mitch. Seriously. For some reason, one's willingness to call into WGR to espouse their opinion seems to correlate directly with how undeveloped their critical thinking skills are. 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shocking. Well...... in theory, drunk retirees in the middle of the day could have forgotten more football then most of us will ever know....... ......that was true of my Grandpa, who never learned how to use a computer (or a calculator, for that matter - he could add up a column of 40 5 and 6 digit numbers accurately in his head, faster than I could enter them). But then, he never called into radio, either, AM or FM. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Blitz Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 The AM show was insufferable this morning. Suicidal radio. They think the draft ended last night and we traded Tyreek Hill to KC. You can make the argument to never trade with KC….it’s just loser talk especially over picks 28 and 32 my goodness. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warcodered Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 I mean trading with the Chiefs the reaction were going to be bad, trading with the Chiefs and they take a guy that set the Combine 40 record and it's even worse. Reality is we weren't taking that guy and he probably would have been there at 32 for the Chiefs to take anyway. But it doesn't matter for people now, it's still going to be that Beane gave the Chiefs "New" Tyreek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been listening to WGR on and off again since I was a kid, I have yet to see this theory play out in practice. I'm not saying that it's impossible, but outliers aren't really important when you're talking about clear trends. Football knowledge in the general public has skyrocketed in the last 20 years because of fantasy football and analytics. Guess which crowd isn't into either?

78thealltimegreat Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 (edited) You have an interesting contrast the Bills callers who are angry because the trade was made with the Chiefs…and the hosts who other then the morning show are apologists for the front office. We will see how tonight goes but if that pick at 33 is Cooper Dejean people are going to have a meltdown as even though he’s an absolutely terrific player but let’s face it this is the worst group of receivers in football as currently constructed.

dma0034 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Maybe the 49ers pick Worthy maybe they don't but getting a 3rd to move down 4 spots isn't bad at all and the Chiefs were going to pick a WR no matter what Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
