Actually they did not explain any of that.

Dalton hits a WR on the hands 10 yards downfield.  Is that a 0, a +1, or a +2?  Since he can't do it any better then that has to be a +2, right?  But on the other hand that seems like a pretty common play.  So then should it be a 0?

And isn't a 15 yard pass harder than a 10 yard pass?  And a 20 yard pass harder than a 15 yard pass?  and a 25 yard pass harder than a 20? And so on and so on and so on?  So how do you tell the difference with just 3 options of "0", "+1", and "+2"

I read the article and it is clearly just subjective.  There are no clear guidelines.  Just whatever the grader feels is appropriate.
