Punters are like the ugly runt of the NFL litter. Unskilled, unwanted and unknown to everyone except their mummies!!!!!

No, you have got that wrong. They are an afterthought. They are the lowest paid 'players' in the game. They're unknown to the fans. What they do isn't regarded as a 'skill' of the game.

Yep. Punters are pretty well a nothing......basically the invisible man of the NFL.

I'm starting to struggle with this one now.

But aren't the exact same types of kicks performed in a game of Flogby?

I'm fairly sure Cam Smith does some of them himself for the Storm.
I consider him the greatest player in history.
Not an "afterthought".
Please clarify for me if you can......

You don't seem to be very well clued up my friend. A punter in NFL runs on, punts & runs off. That's what they do. 99.9% of the time they don't run, they don't pass, they don't tackle. They are on the ground for a few seconds at a time.

And the NFL also has place kickers who kick goals and kick off for restarts of play. Teams have a separate player to punt & place kick for these duties. A punter has a tiny role to play in the game.

Cameron Smith on the other hand plays 80 minutes. He runs, tackles, passes, kicks in general play, directs play & kicks for goal. The kicking component of his game is a valuable but small part of his overall play.

Simple really. NFL punters could play in a dinner suit. Cameron Smith is involved in almost every minute of play and uses every skill in the game. Chalk & cheese!!
