VAL (Value Above League) measures each NFL season against that season's league; the dashed line is zero — a season that added nothing above the league's fringe. ● peak · ○ league-best season.
2.5 career wins over 10 seasons · 1 win = 13.08 VAL
Best season · 1991 · +0.7 wins
0.7 of NO's 11 wins (6%)
Latest season · 1996 · −0.1 wins
MIA's 8 wins · no wins above replacement this season
VAL 3.0 measures each part of a NFL player's game in his sport's own currency against what that season's fringe players produced, converted to team wins with rates fitted from every team-season in the encyclopedia. Team wins are the club's actual regular-season wins; a traded season, or one whose club record is missing, shows no share.
