I understand field conditions and all that are also different, but kickers are expected to have perfected their craft from early childhood now...just like QB's, RB's, WR's and MLB pitchers.

Agreed. Players are bred to play at an early age today. In Mosely's era and earlier Football was a part time profession. Players had to work jobs in the off-season to prepare for life after football. There were no kicking schools or passing academies back in the day etc. Heck a player today could set his grand children and great grand children up for life just by being a long snapper.
