I remember a snapper for the Bengals many years ago who showed off his skill by deep snapping a football to hit a soda can off a pedestal where the punter would want it (10-15 yds back) between his legs 50 straight times. They had the JUGGS gun on him too to clock the speed of his snaps - although I forget what the speed was, it was impressive.

There's definitely a skill the best ones have (throw in the fun of getting bull rushed after every snap) and I don't mean to belittle it. But there are 200 colleges a year spitting out snappers and only 32 at a time make it in the NFL so it can't be that hard a skill to master. As automatic as most of these snappers are, keeping a guy like Pittman who screws up badly at least once a year seems to me like somebody who could be easily replaced.
