If you're going to be nitpick why a pass was incomplete, you also need to nitpick why an interception happened.
An INT gets dinged on the QB even if the wrong route was ran or the ball was deflected and luckily grabbed by a defender hitting the ground.
I already am nitpicking interceptions. That was in the second paragraph of my post. "...Throwing an interception is part of that spectrum, even within the interception grouping. There is a difference between throwing a ball high, which gets tipped and ultimately picked vs. completely missing your man and throwing it straight to a defender."

Correct, but the more data you gather, the better the orator. You can look at completion percentage and interception percentage and have a better idea of who is accurate vs. who is not rather than simply looking at completion percentage.

I agree. I am an analyst by trade. This is my approach as well.
