[QUOTE="Heyjoe4, post: 923749, member: 13032"] I'm not convinced the officiating would be better if they had full-time officials. As Wimm points out, the NFL can certainly afford to pay them well. I still like the idea. Would it make a difference though, and why? )Well for one it would remove other distractions they have in their professional lives outside football.) Too much is at stake to leave it to part timers. That's harsh on officials and I don't mean that - the current officials do very well in a lightning fast game. If anything, I'm surprised more calls aren't missed. Maybe somewhere down the road they'll build AI robots who can be proven to be more reliable than flesh and blood refs. It's probably inevitable, but I don't like it. You can't take mistakes out of football, whether it's an official missing an obvious PI call to a head coach calling for a FG in the waning minutes of the NFCCG, training by 8 on the opponents 8 yard like. And in most cases of mistakes, good arguments can be made for and against. So keep football human. Leave AI on our computers. And that's the point. The Rules Committee was trying to solve for one problem, one incident. I've never seem a more obvious PI call, and it's really unfortunate for the Saints, but they changed the whole system (to the detriment of all) for one play. It's unfortunate, but the Rules Committee has to consider the greater good. (And its was made worse because on any reviewable play, PI was added.) The greater good doesn't include making PI reviewable. At least they fixed it after one year. [/QUOTE]
