Why bother even having kickoffs? (bleacherreport.com)

Why bother even having kickoffs if every kick is just going to sail out the endzone with no possibility of a return, or trying to pin the opposition deep? It was bad week 1, and bad again here in week 2.

Just start out from the 25 and be done with kickoffs/returns entirely, instead of this farce. “Stopgap” excuse be damned.

So is passing.

They shouldn't be allowed to legally call it football if they remove the kicking game

Okay, LOL, fair enough. It's a fun thought experiment, but while I wouldn't be as upset as most I'm honestly not particularly invested in my own ideas here.

Could be interesting for an alt- or minor league that wanted a gimmick and to put their quarterbacks even more front and center.
