I'm not sure I'd agree fully there. A lot of college kickers that have power legs get away with it in college, there are a lot of teams in the NCAA and not so many in the NFL. Not everyone in college is a great directional kicker (aka kick it AWAY from Hester) nor can do the pooch punts to land it where needed. Granted, I don't think that we'll have as much of an issue with that with Brooks, as he showed he was solid landing it within the 20. Don't know about his direction, but he got the Ray Guy award so he can't just be ALL power.
