Quote:  In parts of the off-season,  Full Time officials can help put on football clinics and help the NFL do more additional outreach in communities.   Including in schools.

 

  Being that coaches and players have full time jobs in preparing for NFL games,  if the officials aren't doing the same,  it's hard to envision their performance level measuring up to the standards expected of the coaches and players.

The point of full time referees is to have them apply the rules more "uniformly" and with "consensus".  I understand human error and don't have a problem with that element of the game.  I want our team to play above their floor level right now and take the decisions away from one or two calls a game.  You can still win without getting all the calls and that is what I want our team to do.
