Interceptions are more about decisionmaking than anything and in that regard, I do think Jackson has improved. Hell, his ball placement has made its way to average.
He is a better passer than he was in 2019. And a 1.5 int rate is actually pretty damn good. It's worse than the best we've seen from Patrick (2020 was pretty pinpoint in that regard) but better than his worst (frankly, this season).
Int's aren't any sort of bugaboo for Jackson. It's small windows. He doesn't have the hose to fire one into a window as it closes. He doesn't read defenses at a high enough level to 'throw guys open' as they're making their breaks with regularity.
Sticky coverage will give him a lot of problems. He needs to get DBs guessing as he runs around to create openings. He needs to have confusion in the secondary because of play actions and what not. He's just not a guy that's going to routinely beat good coverage like Mahomes can do.
But really, very little of that is going to show up in stats because he generally doesn't have to do that. His legs create space in the defensive secondary for the reasons I suggested above.

You misunderstood my post. I agree with everything you said. My post was intended to contradict that Lamar was pressing in the Titans game because he "had to do it all himself that year and it lead to interceptions"...
He just isn't a volume passer and when he gets asked to be a volume passer he folds. Laundry Jackson.
