But also those interceptions are big. In 2022, 3 of Daks interceptions were pick 6s. And if I recall correctly they were either in consecutive games or damn near close. There was a good stretch where it felt like Dak was going to throw at least 2 interceptions guaranteed per game and one of them probably was going to be a pick 6. Stuff like that, while still only counting for 1 interception each in the stat block goes a long way to making people feel like you're trash regardless of any other stats you have.
People focus on the negative and when you have a consistent negative and aren't really making up for it in any meaningful way the perception goes down.
2022 stat comparisons weren't even close for one.
