Touchbacks on Kicker Stats and Punter Stats

As it stands now we have FG , 40+ , 50 + . long , XP , KOs and Avg. on kicker stats so why not have touchbacks on kicker stats too??

Really it would make sense because people have complained about return touchdowns that it seems there is so many.

And having a touchback on kicker stats means we could see which kicker we need to put at kickoffs to maybe stop kickoff return touchdowns because it is kinda of hard to get a kickoff return touchdown when it is a touchback


and also we only get Punts , Yards , AVG . Net , long and in the 20 on punter stats so why not have touchbacks on punter stats too.

and really we could stop punt return touchdowns also if we had that stat because then we could put our best punter at that position at touchbacks.


basically i would think we could fix Kickoff Returns/Punt Returns for touchdowns with this stat on kickers and punters to the point it would just a myth or legend that stuff happened .

Punisher, punt return touchdowns are basically over. They're almost at mythical, pre-historic creatures.....finito level. :)

As for KO (knock-out) return touchdowns. We see them in the NFL and I think they happen at MFN at a good level. I mean we don't want next to nothing on both returns thus null and voiding those plays. Buttttttt if KO returns do become an issue then I could see implements in place to rein it back in.

I do like the idea of touchback stats, though. Lets me know if my returner remains paralyzed in the endzone unwilling to return the ball or not. :)

well i was just thinking that having maybe stops people from complaining about Return touchdowns and also if this was possible then when i carry 2 kickers or punters that it would help me pick the best one at touchbacks then taking away the return game from my opponent which might give me a chance at beating people even if it is small margin of chance.

Ah, I thought punters and kickers had touchback stats. (oh, wait, it's only inside 20 yard line stats)

BTW on a returner level I now recall Setherick posting and I believe JDB confirming that a returner's intelligence determines if they take it out of the end zone or not. Higher intelligence, more dynamic returner in taking chances and returning more often.
