Couldn't agree more. Not trying to single 842 out as all of videos I've seen have teams kicking over atleast one hump, but who will be scoring all those balls? I think the accuracy rate for kickers in the middle and far zone will be surprisingly very low. I think the best kickers will be those that can adjust distance on the fly to score from close in but also clear balls up to the scoring zone.

I fear many teams will suffer from the 'Kyle Boller affect'. Kyle Boller can throw 60 yards from his knees and was drafted in the first round and basically never became a good QB. I'm afraid some teams (in designing/building and scouting) will fall in love with the kickers that can kick the ball the length of the field but still may not be sucessful.
