15. We've all seen a QB hit his receiver right in the hands, only to have the receiver miss it

and it gets intercepted on a tip. We've also seen a QB make an awful throw that hits a DB right between the numbers and they drop it.

In this case, hitting your own receiver in the hands is MUCH worse for your QB rating than underthrowing a ball by 10 yards hand having a DB drop an easy pick. INT's in general aren't always a clear indication of a QB's ability, though I guess if you throw enough of them, it all balances out.
