The XP is the most worthless play in the NFL.....what would you replace it with?

Only 5 XPs missed in all of 2013
It's a damn near automatic play....it's predictable.....it's boring
I've heard a bunch of various options, but the alternative I like the best thus far is simply a 2pt conversion.
Score a TD = 7 points
Make the conversion = 8 points
Fail the conversion = 6 points
Refuse the conversion = stay at 7 points
What are some other, more exciting options, rather than some boring kick from 5 feet out?

I don't see why you have to replace it with anything. Just make a TD 7 points and go straight to the kickoff.

The game of football isn't broke. It doesn't need fixing. If the extra point is nearly automatic, simply move it back to the 23 yard line, and it will make the extra point a 40 yard kick. I bet it will be made 85% of the time, but you would still have some pressure on that kick.

Everyone says the XP is worthless, and to an extent it is. However, how many games have been won/lost because a team is up 4 with 2 minutes to play, instead of only up 3?
It could totally change the strategy of the game (unless you give 7 automatically; then it does nothing)

I like the idea of still having the option for two point conversion if you'd like. Otherwise, you can just take the 7 points.

uncontested 20yd dropkick, by the player who scored

XP isn't automatic for John Carney

I wouldn't change a thing. I like the added strategy of choosing to go for 2. That would go away if every TD resulted in a 2 pt conversion.
Change for the sake of change is often a bad idea.

This.

What are the numbers for two pt conversions? Maybe they need to make those 3 PTs to make teams try them more.

...because in that case you would have to eliminate the two point conversion.

Replace it with the Oklahoma drill.
Would be awesome.

Making the player who scored kick the extra point would be pretty entertaining.

Score a TD = 6 points
Run an offensive play from the 2 = 1 point
Run an offensive play from the 10 = 2 points
Run an offensive play from the 20 = 3 points
Run an offensive play from the 2 = 1 point
Run an offensive play from the 10 = 2 points
Run an offensive play from the 20 = 3 points

True, but if they insist...

Give the scoring team an automatic point unless they want to go for two.
