Right now, I think there are *many* strong Referees in the NFL. To be selected among them is quite an accomplishment. I think that in the future, R 85 Hochuli will replace Pereira.

I also think that R ?? Steratore will be among the top NFL Referees ever. Parry and Boger are showing that they'll have fantastic careers as well. With R 77 McAulay and R 42 Triplette and R 99 Corrente, imho, the officiating in the NFL will be superb in the years to come.
A lot of what goes into being a good R is the communication factor when using the mic. Good clear voice that's easy to understand. IMO Steratore is one of the best on the mic. Carey tends to leave you in suspense, sort of a delay in giving the direction of the fouling team. Something like, "Holding, #25 (delay) Defense..." No complaints about that as it adds a bit of mystery to which way he's going to signal.
