Still, I believe you should get the ball where you had (read: earned) the ball. If an exciting finish is the justification, then let's move the ball to the 50-yard line after a football timeout, giving the offense a better chance to score.

Fundamentally, football is about field position and forward progress. I think basketball's "court position" is less relevant than football's field position.
What I would like to see in football is the 4-point field goal attempt. Attempts where the PLS (Point of Last Scrimmage) is beyond a certain spot would be worth 4 points instead of 3:
- In Canadian football, this could be the 45-yard line
- In American football, this could be the 35-yard line
This would make for exciting endings too. Down by 7, two field goals could tie the game!
