Hopefully this counts as "support."

Sure is. You need a lesson on how to use quotation marks, "though."

From what I've just been reading about Boomer, it sounds like he had the option to audible out every play. It doesn't give percentages but it sounds like he had the option every play.

Wyche used hand signals to make personnel changes and call plays, but Esiason called formations based on the game plan for that week.

Esiason then relayed the calls to his teammates, via voice if they could hear while lined up, or in a sugar huddle, which today more often is called the muddle huddle, about 1½ yards behind the line of scrimmage, if the crowd was loud.

Esiason also could change the play at the line, usually with one word to keep the pace fast. Most plays had an automatic audible from run to pass or vice versa, and he could switch to that play by saying "China."
