Among other reasons, this is why TD/INT ratio is becoming a near useless statistic.

TD:INT ratio has always been a useless stat. Why present it as a ratio when they aren't equally important? Touchdowns help a team more than interceptions hurt them.

Not only that aspect, but a team that runs it in from the 1 is going to, on average, have a qb with a worse ratio than one who's scheme has them throwing it at the 1. Lotta quick, easy TDs can be racked up by qbs and inflate their stats when in both cases the team scored a TD.
