4th and 15 is a joke to so many teams.


People keep saying this, but if it was so easy to pull off, why don't more teams go for it on 4th and 15.

Risk/reward. In the typical onside kick situation you're almost certain to lose anyway, so failing to convert doesn't change anything really.

I don't care what the stats say, a 4th and 15 is easier to convert than an onside kick.

Your team actually practices 4th and 15 situations a lot, and you have the penalty bail out as an option.

Come on. It's all about the situation, and you know that. Not many teams are put in a 4th and 15 for starters, and generally the ones that are, are not the teams I think would be able to convert very easily. All this rule would do is give the really good teams that are having a slight off day the chance to prevent upsets.
