So by Cooley's assessment Doctson played like an above average wide receiver Sunday. That makes no sense.

This is were his grades are misleading. In his system, C+ is not above average, I'd say it's slightly below: he has a % grading scale (that he explained in his first podcast episode) where 86% and above is an A, 85% to 76% is B, 75% to 66% is C, 65% to 51% is D, 50% and below is an F.

You expect your average WR to do his job/have a positive impact on more than 70% of the plays, don't you?

And again, I really don't think grades are the best part of his Film Breakdowns, the explanations are. Because he did say Doctson is not getting any separation and he went into details on why his drops were ugly and 100% on him.
So yeah, maybe a C is being too nice, but if you listen to the film breakdown, he's not trying to make you believe Doctson had a solid game.
