Since the Jags aren’t going anywhere this year, he should be given at least one chance to kick a 70 during the season, in a game where missing it wouldn’t matter.

But it would matter. If he missed the opposing team would get the ball at their own 40. Short field and at least an easy field goal. I would assume that's why we don't see a lot of very long FGA...even though there are probably kickers who routinely kick some bombers in practice.

On the last play of the half or last play of the game, this kid might have a better chance than a 60-yard Hail Mary pass.

But it would matter.

I meant some game where it's the fourth quarter and Jacksonville is losing 34-6 or something. Losing 34-9 with a 70yd field goal statistically wouldn't be any different than losing 41-6 with a missed field goal.
