Every qb in this draft takes unnecessary risks with the ball. Try to fit it into windows they don't have arm for.
If you are referring to Sam Darnold then yes, he's trying to play "hero ball" a lot this year and it's led to an increase in interceptions (9).
Josh Rosen has only thrown 5 through half a season. That's not a ton.
Mason Rudolph has only thrown 4 this year and has never thrown double-digit INTs in his college career.
Luke Falk has only thrown 2 this year.
Lamar Jackson just 4.
Baker Mayfield has had no INTs.
Josh Allen just 3 (although he did have 15 last year).
Now let's look at stats from the senior year of some successful NFL QBs that were also all first-round picks:
Aaron Rodgers - 8 INT
Ben Roethlisberger - 10 INT (he had double-digit INTs every year at Miami)
Eli Manning - 10 INT
Peyton Manning - 11 INT
Jameis Winston - 18 INT (had double-digit INTs every year at FSU)
The point I'm trying to make is that calling someone a "pick machine" is probably a little off-base unless you give some clarification of what your definition of an "pick machine" actually is.
My definition is 15+ INTs or more INTs than TDs if less than 15.
Also, just because someone in college has double-digit INTs doesn't mean they won't go on to the NFL and become a star.
