Peace

Knowing the system and buying into the system are two different things. Watching some veterans, it is clear that one or the other is the case, probably not buying into the system and not abiding by it. How many of those guys work on improving in the off season?
As far as percentage of correct calls and no calls, how can Jim Burr possibly know how many of his calls are correct when 50% of his calls are outside his primary?

It seems you want to take this discussion about specific officials.

That is not the point of my response.

And since you talked about Burr, I am going to have to disagree with you. Then again it really does not matter if we agree on this. I am not going to change your thinking anyway.

Again, this is a ridiculous comment to make. You're not even thinking rationally about this discussion. You have an axe to grind about staying in your primary and you just say whatever seems to support that axe.

1) How can Burr know how many of his calls are correct? By watching tape, like everyone else. Does he do that? I have no idea. But to imply that he couldn't possibly have an idea of how he's performing is ludicrous.

2) Or are you asking how he could know DURING the game? If so, then how do YOU know how many of your calls are correct during the game? You don't. You think they're all correct when you make them, otherwise you wouldn't have put air in the whistle. You're just being silly.

3) 50%? Really? Please.
