Okay, let's see....can't really find a definitve answer online. But here's what I can surmise. You want a field goal to be worth half the points of a TD, but more than a safety and a extra point. So, a field goal has to be more than 1 point. Now if you make safety 1 and field goal 2, then you are saying that a field goal is twice as valuable as a safety (which it really shouldn't be). Or worse if FG is 2, then your saying that an extar point is worth half as much as a FG, which is also not cool (worse you are saying getting a safety is worth as much as a rather simple XP if you make safety 1, thus safety must be 2 with extra point is 1). Extra points should be just a small added incentive to scoring a TD instead of constantly trying to kick FGs. So, looking at it from a worth standpoint coupled in with the idea that they want to make football more exciting, you can start to see why a FG is 3 points. Then once you have that marker, the other scores fall nicely into place.
This is from my own head, so if you can find something online that tells you the "real" reason, don't go blaming me.

It could happen, granted not with the current coach or half the players or.....
