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.
10.4 career wins over 16 seasons · 1 win = 13.08 VAL
Best season · 1979 · +1.6 wins
1.6 of NE's 9 wins (17%)
Latest season · 1990 · +0.1 wins
0.1 of NE's 1 win (14%)
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.
