Stewart was largely a 4 year starter and Dawson has only started 2 years, so of course Stewart is gonna pile up more passes defended and interceptions for his career. If we just break down the past 2 seasons though, Stewart has 23 passes defended and no interceptions. Dawson has 4 interceptions including 2 touchdowns and 16 passes defended. I will give you that Stewart is probably a better blitzer, but I still see Dawson as the better coverage guy and I like his big play ability much better.

You don't just take away traits shown because one player started earlier and the other didn't though. Traits evaluation is based on everything they've shown on the field. Not just a 2 year sample. Stewarts PDs + INTs is evidence of his ball skills.  

Dawson's been worse in coverage every year of his career. He's given up more TDs, higher passer rating + completion rate allowed. He's much more boom bust even though he has 3 TDs.

Dawson is more of a gambler. I like that. In a Nickle role, I think he's be much more consistent, because he wouldn't be facing the oppositions #1 receiver. I like his ability to create turnovers. I guess it depends on what you're looking for. Personally, I like DB's that take risks and create big plays. If you like "play it safe" kind of DB's, that's fine. It's just not what I'd be looking for.
