I would tend to agree, though I have mixed feelings about it.
What we are seeing basically is a veiled attempt to do that anyway, so why not just be above-board and eliminate the kick-offs altogether? Watching a kick-off go through the end zone or players fair catch everything doesn't exactly add a lot of excitement anyway.
The only problem is that it would eliminate the concept of the on-side kick, something that I would hate to see go away. Also, it would eliminate the possibility of a muffed kick, which does add to the game somewhat.
