An XP is now the equivalent of a 32 yard FG. How many of those are missed each year? A few but not many. Something like 97% are made. So the take away is a few more XPs will be missed by kickers-big deal.
If anything it makes the top kickers and those playing in Domes or in great weather conditions (think SD) a smidge more valuable. You may lose a point for a missed XP every now and then but it will not be too critical.
What could be disastrous is if the Head Coach decides to start going for 2 point conversions more often. Think Chip Kelly or rumors are PIT and NYJ (Tebow anyone?) might decide to do this. If the teams go for 2 pointers that leaves the team kicker without those critical XP points.
Something to think about as you wait for the training camps to start.
