Whats harder a punt or a Fg?

Answer 1

I would say a FG because Punters never have the kind of pressure on them that Kickers have

Answer 2

Really depends on the length of the Punt. I mean as a kick I don't think either is really more difficult as the kicker is someone who focuses on kicking that way. Now if you are talking about punting out of the endzone or something where you go to punt as far as you can then yeah a FG is harder. If you need a pooch punt type then I'm not sure I would call either harder. The FG is usually going to be harder in my opinion though because you have less distance for it to go to either side before it is no good. Yeah you could punt out of bounds but you have more room before it goes out. Biggest worry is that a punt is far easier to block.

Answer 3

FG kicker is harder. You actually have to lift the ball up and your only about 4 yards away from guys. When you punt you are able to lift the ball straight up and dont have to worry about blocks. With a field goal your targert is way smaller. You have to get it far enough and between two poles while some idiot might not even hold the ball that good. When you punt all you have to do is catch it and the punt it..the whole field is your target.

Answer 4

I would say a punt would be a little harder...downing it within the 20yd line, having it go where you want, etc.

AND after you punt the ball, you turn into a defender and sometimes have to make the tackle.

A field goal kicker just has to kick it straight.

Granted, the field goal kicker probably has a little more pressure, but I would still say punting the ball effectively would be harder.

Answer 5

It is clinically proven that making a fg is harder than a punt. The kicker has a lot of preasurre on him to make it while if its a bad punt he wont get kicked of the team like Mike Vandergat (was indys kicker but missed a game winner in the playoffs)

Answer 6

I would say they both are tuff your punting from your end zone is harder then Kicking a 20 yard field goal on the other hand down by 2 with 7 seconds left kicking a 35 yard field would be tuff espeically if you need the win bad

Answer 7

im a kicker 4 my neighborhoods football team and i waz both kicker and punter so i should kno that a FG is harder thana a punt cuz u dont hav anywhere 2 aim at when ur punting

hope this helps

Answer 8

Field goal is harder because you ar aiming for a goal, but when u punt u just worry about sending it farther

Answer 9

FG u have the weight of the world on your shoulder almost every game, a punter doesnt decide a game ever

Answer 10

it depends, how far do you want it to go on the punt, and how many yards out is the kicker atempting the field goal from.
