But all of this is ridiculous because the way an int is returned has nothing to do with the QB throwing the pick.
You and I both know that's not true. Some QBs wait too long to throw balls to routes on the flats or comeback routes. They wait until the receiver is open before throwing it rather than throwing the ball with anticipation. Or they stare down the player before throwing the ball, giving the defender plenty of time or indication to be able to jump the route and take it back to the house easily with no defenders to avoid.
INT 1:
INT 2:
INT 3:
One of those three INTs would have been near impossible to return for a TD. The other two were incredibly easy to return for a TD. QBs have a lot of influence on how their INTs are returned by how and where they throw them.
