It's only meaning was on the stat sheet. It hurts his quarterback rating, the most over-rated statistic in the NFL.
Dan Fouts threw 5-8 picks like that every season. They show up on the stat sheet, but they have NO impact on wins and losses.
An INT in that situation has as much impact as a completion short of the endzone or an incompletion. Anything but a touchdown is a 'failure', but it's not like it's giving away a possession. It ends the half.
All interceptions are not created equal. I like a guy who eschews statistics on behalf of trying to score points and win games. I hate watching QB's try to game the QB rating formula.
