not only logistically questionable MS. I also question the game calling here. it's probably better to punt the ball away

You can possess the ball in the endzone. QBs drop back in the endzone all the time. Punters kick from the endzone all the time. Usually the kicker is 7 yrds behind the LoS on a field goal attempt..... but I would think kicking one 101 yrds the kicker would have to have a pretty good head start! Like in Kick Offs, they usually take a 13 step run!

Sorry, what I mean is you can't take a snap with the ball in the endzone. The ball would be placed just outside and there is no room to get a good kick off from.
I was looking up the rules on this and came across a cool article. Worth the read if you have time:

I put this one at the bottom because it’s the one that the most people probably know about. It’s the one that, if, say, you’re a grad student trying to compile a list of weird NFL rules and you start asking all your football-savvy friends for their input, will come up over and over again even though its one of the few things you already knew. Still, if you haven’t encountered this before it’s rather nifty. It turns out that, after a punt or a kickoff that was fielded by fair catch, the team receiving the kick actually has two options: they can run a play from scrimmage (also known as “doing normal football things”) or they can attempt a type of free kick called a “fair catch kick.” If the kick goes through the uprights, they score three points. Of course, in this day and age it almost never happens that a team receives a fair catch in good enough field position that they would rather try a free kick than just run some plays, but it happens occasionally towards the end of a half, particularly if there simply isn’t time to run any other kind of play. In 1969 a fair-catch kick was actually the game-winning score in a game for the Chicago Bears, and a year later the Redskins just missed a similar kick that would have broken the tie. Since then, only one more fair-catch kick has been successful (by the 76 Chargers), although a number have been tried. Here’s CU Alum Mason Crosby trying one two years ago with the Packers from 69 yards, and coming just short. What a shame.
I have another question:
Who would be stupid enough to attempt a FG that long?

Young Jeezy could make it.
