+/- is a real number of course, but interpreting it, is where you can go wrong. You can also interpret it correctly and then it's valuable. How to interpret it correctly? One way is to watch the plays and let them describe the reasons behind the +/-. Another one is to use multitude of other stats and combine those together with the +/-, in order to interpret a players performance and contribution. But also this in the end involves watching the plays and judging if the combined statistical interpretation is correct.
Bottom line is this, each stat or combination of stats needs to be verified by watching.
There is no way going around by watching and evaluation. But stat can help.
