As a 40 year old amateur soccer player, I don't understand how the kicking in the NFL hasn't evolved to a point where guys are more accurate (yes, I know this sounds like the Ninja meme). I play with too many amateur guys who can nail coke cans from 50 yards away. Yes, a football is different, but when you're talking about a billion dollar scouting industry finding the best of the best and paying them millions to train daily with state of the art equipment......I just figured we would be at a point where guys were near automatic by now. Like there would be 20 to 25 guests by now.
My only conceivable take is that the environment of the NFL breaks kickers mentally to such an extent that it will take a whole culture change to fix the position.
