I like when he stands back, eyeballs it, and then measures it off with his feet.

One minor redeeming factor: a clip is attached to the chain at the nearest main yard-line stripe that crosses the field after the trailing yardage stick at the first down line of scrimmage. That way, the chains can be accurately set by keeping that clip on that main yard-line stripe anywhere along the width of the field when a measurement is needed. At least that sloppiness shouldn't affect measurements any, or confuse whether or not a first down has been earned.

And every time they spot the ball after a play they're just eyeballing the spot anyway.

That's pretty much true. They aren't exactly using a laser to precisely spot a ball that finished well outside the hashmarks on the precise spot it should be placed on the hashmark.

Yes, if you want to be true, then at the very least you want to be pretty much true. 🙂

At least they got that part right! 😂 The clip keeps a fixed yard-line reference, helping officials measure consistently when a first down is in question.
