He is a B- or C+ in my book, solely due to his one-dimensional nature.
as mentioned, my grade is their performance relative to what my expectation is- not as a grade of how good of a player they are.
Jimmy Graham is a A+ tight end. I'd prolly go B- in grade though cuz the bar is so high for him. Dave Thomas is a C tight end for me. I'd give him an A though on 20 catches. He fulfilled all that was asked of him.
Also salary plays into my grade of a player. With a salary cap, bringing the cumulative most bang for the buck is the essence of NFL success. Examples would be at safety...
Both safeties had poor seasons. Jenkins was a $2.6mil cap hit. Harper was a $6.4mil cap hit. Next year that is $3.8mil for Jenks and $7.1mil for Harper ($15mil next 2yrs). So even if Harper performed better than Jenks he was a much bigger fail in the production to price ratio.

That's a valid point. Expectation varies from person to person. I certainly accept that he can't catch, and therefore don't expect it when he's on the field.
So if the measuring stick is a one-dimensional RB who is questionable in pass protection...I'd obviously give him a higher grade than C+.
