    I like the overall concept, but I'll add more while trying to keep it as easy to understand as possible.
    Premise A...since a field goal actually counts 3 points, it should never count more than a TD nor less than 3 points as you don't give fewer points to short TD runs or catches.

    Premise B...a 99 yd TD run/catch would count 15.9 points or 261% more than a 1 yd TD(6.1 pts). Since a FG counts half as much in value in the score, a corresponding increase for longer FGs should count about 1/2 as much or a max of around 180%. (261 - 100) = 161 / 2 = 80.5 + 100 = 180%.

    Premise C...since you would reward fractional points for increased distance, you should correspondingly penalize for negative distance, i.e. misses. Whether to penalize for XP misses is another matter, but I would not be opposed to making that an option.

    Premise D...since 2002, kickers are successfully making 75% of field goals from 42 yds and that % increases the closer the attempt as it decreases the further the attempt. Here is the website to substantiate these %'s (http://www.decisionsciencenews.com/2013/01/28/football-geeks-your-10705-field-goals-are-ready/)

    Here is a proposed scale using that 42 yd attempt as a base line(apologies for the formatting):
