NFL 4 point field goal should include a chain reaction of point scoring changes.

If NFL field goal rules are changed, Kickers may soon get 4 points for kicking a field goal from beyond 60 yards. The 4 point field goal rule will radically change a teams offensive philosophy by decentivizing trying to make it all the way to the endzone for a touchdown that is only worth 6,7, or 8 points. New strategies may emerge such as throwing extremely long passes from outside the 60n field goal threshold, knowing the 60 yard field goal is still an excellent consolation prize. While this may make the game more exciting in a sugar rush sort of way, death of the time consuming touchdown drive will change the core value of watching a Football game.

To offset the negative influence 60 yard field goals equaling 4 points might create, other football plays need to have their point totals changed.

To incentivize teams to still try for a touchdown but end up being stopped at the 40 yard line and having to punt, Punters can score 2 points for their team if their punt is not returned past the 5 yard line, and 1 point if the punt is not returned past the 10 yard line, as this would incentivize a team making a legitimate effort to go for a touchdown since moving down the field can still result in points either through a touchdown, shorter field goal attempt, or, drum roll please, through a well placed punt!

And of course, a safety would now have to be worth 3 points instead of 2 points since safetys are so rare. 

To recap, Touchdowns continue to equal 6,7, or 8 points.
60 yards or greater field goals equal 4 points.
Field goals closer than 60 yards remains at 3 points.
Safetys would increase from 2 points to 3 points.
Punts that do not go into the endzone and are not returned past the 5 yard line equal 2 points
Punts that do not go into the endzone and are not returned past the 10 yard equal 1 point. 

Finally, at long last, punters would get a chance to score points while incentivizing their team to keep marching down the field towards a touchdown.
