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.
4.1 career wins over 10 seasons · 1 win = 13.08 VAL
Best season · 1984 · +1.0 wins
1.0 of PIT's 9 wins (11%)
Latest season · 1992 · +0.2 wins
0.2 of MIN's 11 wins (1%)
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.
