Nice post. I respect your argument. The only reason I disagree with the QB grade is what grade will be given to a 250+ pass yards, 3 TD, 1 or less INT's performance? B- would be saying this perfomance was close that.

"The only reason I disagree with the QB grade is what grade will be given to a 250+ pass yards, 3 TD, 1 or less INT's performance? B- would be saying this perfomance was close that."

I can see this line of thinking but first of all, my post may have been a little misleading in that I said I considered a B- but ultimately went with C+, which to me means "a little bit better than merely passing." I am not beholden to stats - primarily because I think they can be misleading - but I also do not believe in ignoring them. What I really look for in QB play is whether the QB accomplished what was needed and I felt Lee largely did that. As for your question as to a hypothetical grade given the stats you suggest, I would say that those kind of numbers would likely result in an A grade which is quite a bit higher than the C+ I would give.

Hey, reasonable minds can differ, but I liked what I saw from Lee despite a shaky stat line.

By the way, I admittedly did not expect much from our QB's even before JJ's suspension and I might have a tendency to grade on a curve with them. I am trying not to do that, though.
