Going by what I saw in the first 3 quarters of the Raidahs game, JC certainly was doing around 50-60ish.
For most of the game, he was "quietly invisible", aka not screwing things up. He added a little spice to help move the chains with some timely passes. He also managed to draw penalties against Antonio Cromartie 4 times, and even blocked for Run Dmac.
Of course, the stat isn't going to capture everything, i.e, the godawful deep ball he has was still evident as ever.
ESPN's stat, even if it's not completely accurate, puts focus back on watching the damn games rather than employing heuristics that ignore a ton of data.
