It actually is an either or situation.
Every time a punter comes out to do their job it's because the team failed. We don't often think of it that way, and we're very forgiving of it, but it's true.
The punter is a human turnover. Fact.
Worst position on the field. I believe it's a good thing for coaches to have a bad punter that they don't trust and have little confidence in if it leads them to making higher probability decisions to make play calls on 3rd and 4th down to keep the ball and get more 1st downs and scores. Instead, coaches get starry eyed about "pinnin' 'em deep!" and crap like that, as if an oddly shaped ball will behave the way they expect.
In conclusion, I'll see punters in Hell.
