Will there be sensors on both edges of all of the down markers or will there be only one monitoring the center line of the markers? Are the sensors in the base of the line to gain markers and in the end zone pylons or embedded into the field?

BIG fan of the pylon and line marker camera technology that's come along in recent years.  It's definitely helped a lot for replays

The NFL is about to increase the use of technology in its officiating.

 

The league is close to using an electronic system for measuring first downs and will expand the use of instant replay as an officiating tool in 2024.

Those blind and or crooked fugs need some help that’s for sure. 

The league not having full time refs defies belief. Wiith the money that is flowing through their hands, it would be spillage to pay those refs on a good contract.

    • I think an interesting follow up would be how many of those QBs went on to win a Super Bowl at all. From some quick chatGPT questions, it seems only 3 of them (Eli Manning, Matthew Stafford, and Sam Darnold) have gone on to win a Super Bowl as a starter.  While teams picking in the top 5 generally aren’t great organizations, I think the fact that 34/37 haven’t won Super Bowls can’t just be pinned on the organizations. Maybe quite a few of those guys never should have been top 5 picks. Here’s looking at guys like Blake Bortles, Mitch Trubisky, Joey Harrington, Bryce Young, Tua, Mark Sanchez, and the list goes on and on. Maybe there is just something wrong with QB draft evaluations, as many analysts thought the majority of those 37 dudes were top 5 picks. 
    • I honestly wouldn't draft a QB if my team earned the first pick, unless we're talking Luck, Cam or Stafford level talent available. Generational type guys that can lift a bad team. They are rare breeds though. Trade back for a king's ransom and come back when you've gotten your ish together - see Chicago bears.  As far as yards and scores trending down, I think it has a lot to do with how teams are playing defense now. Most defenses are in some form of nickel/dime most of the game, with exotic blitz packages using DBs to pressure the QB. They're taking away the passing game, and teams built to pass without a complimentary run game to keep the defense honest will struggle.  Maybe RBs will become top draft picks again.
    • How many made it to the SB?  Cam was drafted #1 and almost won, do we think he wasn't worth the pick?  lol   Same with Joe Burrow.
