I seem to remember DW4 had a lot of these.

Good point. It changes the rules with pass interference.***

Should an amazing one handed catch count as a completion?

It's a part of the game and DB's drop lots of passes right in their hands, so it all works out in the end.

Probably evens out with interceptions that are dropped by the defense.
We have had as many of those this year as we have had takeaways.

Is it not the QB's fault they were tipped?

Tipped by his receivers, not tipped at the line

Although that is another question.
Edit: reread OP. Now I'm not sure which one he meant.

Interception definition
Oct 3, 2017, 1:08 PM

Not to intercept your question, but... This is the wiki definition of a football interception: "Interceptions occur when the opposing defense catches a forward pass thrown by the offense. This results in a turnover, and the intercepting team gains possession of the ball."
Using that, I would say that all balls thrown by the offense and caught be the defense are interceptions. Since it is a team sport, the QB get the blame. You must ask yourself, is it fair for the QB to get credit for throwing a touchdown when he didn't catch it? Same same.

Or they could start keeping a new metric such that dropped passes that should have been caught are not counted like it was a bad pass from the QB, and those INT's caused by tipped balls could be another separate category.
Okay - problem solved. Next.
BTW: If the NFL scouts that make decisions on who they should draft as their QB had these new metrics, then those idiots that missed on DW4 would not look as stupid now.

or hands. Maybe have something like a fielding error in baseball. if the ball should have obviously been caught, don't call it an interception on the QB, call it an error on the receiver.

It should be like errors in baseball.

Incompletes should count against a receiver when they should have cought the pass, and interceptions should be handled the same way. QB fault, receiver fault, and just dumb luck's fault.
