Not that I disagree with your point, but by this logic, there are 200 colleges a year spitting out quarterbacks, too. And kickers, and punters, etc. Yet we still have Red Grange back there booting balls for the Texans and scrambling for first downs.

There are many times where a "split second" is the difference between a kick or a punt getting off and getting blocked. Pittman had one of the quicker snaps in the league. Is it so much better than Option B to keep him on the roster? Probably not, but I think there is some skill differentiation at the position just as there is at all of the other positions.
