re: How short of a leash should kickers have in the NFL?

Half the kickers in the league this year would have lost their job if that were the standard. (eta: and that number is undoubtedly going to be higher by year's end) A much larger percentage in College would have lost their scholarship.

I have an idea in a similar vein. How short of a leash should QB's have? I think that a QB who throws more than 8 interceptions should be outright released. Your job is to complete passes to your team. You are not being paid to complete passes to the other team. It is your profession. Therefore you should be spending 8 hours minimum every day practising passing to your team so you do not pass to your opponent.
