I supose it would be a useful alternative if your regular kicker got injured, as happened last weekend (resulting in a missed extra point).

Do disagreement there, but you imagine it would be easier for the punter to score a field goal type kick than a drop kick just because it's practiced more.

Well, yeah, you would need a player, such as Flutie, who could pull it off.
The punter shanked the PAT didn't he?

Yup, horsed it badly. Can practice it all you like, but first time under pressure and he choked.

The term quarterback has its origin in Scottish Rugby, wherein backfield players, according to their customary distance behind the forwards, were designated "quarter back" (i.e. ΒΌ of the way back), "halfback", and "fullback".[citation needed] Eventually in rugby the English-Irish nomenclature prevailed, with halfback, three-quarters back, and fullback; in some places, notably New Zealand, the term "five-eighths back" is used as well. As of 2007, players in this position have won more Super Bowl MVP awards than any other position.[citation needed] | I was impressed until that gave it away  </BLOCKQUOTE>
