[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 1027138, member: 7261"] I found an interesting article on the subject, which is 6 years old and talks about how the NFL will probably "soon" catch up with technology. One thing sited in the article was that testing new technology becomes trickier with no official development league. Unlike Baseball, Hockey and Basketball, there are no lower leagues with ties to the NFL. I think that's just a fancy excuse of saying "We own the market and will do only what we want to do." Kind of inline of what you are saying. The article also stated the reasons below, again, this article is 6 years old: "According to the experts B/R spoke with, the reasons it's not a priority are: 1. teams (and advertisers) appreciate having the break in the game to measure the ball's distance from a first down; 2. the technology required is not yet reliable or precise enough for officiating purposes; and 3. the number of debatable calls is not statistically significant enough to force the league to act. In other words, it's not worth the trouble or the cost." I just think it is laziness on the part of the NFL. RFID chips designed to track position, speed and distance are already being used in players equipment and the ball. Currently, only for "fun stats" like miles per hour of a pass, player, etc. I have looked at that 3rd down run of Aaron Jones against the 9'ers at least a dozen times and continue to wonder if the Umpire had spotted the ball correctly, how the outcome of the game might have differed.
