I only pay attention to interceptions unless there are a lot of them but a 2 - 1 ratio or more is ideal, especially in this league. A lot of interceptions happen when the team is trailing and the team needs a first down or needs a touchdown.

There are somany variables that go into a given play for it to be dissected for a given stat with option routes or a QB will sometimes make the decision to throw into coverage which leads to the receiver playing defense or plays that should have been picked off but dropped by the defender. Also a QB throwing low and away to "where only the receiver" can catch which leads to tipped interception from the receiver trying to reach the off target throw.
