Career arc · VAL by season

17 seasons · peak 28.2 in 1990

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.

What he added · wins above replacement

10.5 career wins over 17 seasons · 1 win = 13.08 VAL

Best season · 1990 · +2.2 wins

2.2 of KC's 11 wins (20%)

Estimated from the season line (early era)+2.2

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.
