The tension comes from the entire scoring structure. You have to retain the 6+1 and 3 and 2 scoring method. If you take that out, the entire idea of play calling changes to accommodate the value proposition of scoring.

But look at it this way. NBA players are better shooters than college players are. Check out the 3-point lines. Nothing wrong with doing something similar with NFL kickers. They kick better--no problem making it more of a challenge.

But very few are proposing to "just make it automatic." most of these suggestions involve some sort of play, an option for easier 2 point conversions, etc.
You are correct if you either just make it an automatic 7 OR just increase the length, then yeah nothing would change and that's good. But that isn't the proposition.
