I've thought this for a long time, and in general does anyone else believe that draws are pointless and it should just be draws and wins, and decide the winner through penalties?

In American sports we just have overtime for everything - but I'm highly against pk's in anything but knockout rounds. It's a dumb way to decide a game and should only be used when a definitive result is necessary.

there isn't any other option other than a draw (1 point) when there is a tie game imo. as a coach i'd much rather take a draw, rather than a loss by penalties.

Alright, maybe not penalties, but I wouldn't mind having overtime

If were to say that you needed three points to win the league, and you were taken to penalties after a 'draw', I'm pretty sure you would take a chance of winning than a guaranteed draw. Of course, pks are probably not the best way to decide a game, but I truely believe no one will ever be passionate and happy about drawing a game in a league.

Nah man draw is a part of football. If every game which ends as a draw go to overtime, the players would be tired as hell. Especially in Premier League where the schedule is too tight.

That wouldn't be reflective of a team's strength, though. Poor teams can just park the bus and try to snatch a win after the game ends in a draw. It would cause the entire league standings to derail.
