[Note to mods: Don't worry . . . I'm not going to post all the stats here. 
]
I figured people might want to know where the major skill players rank.
As I explained in another post, there are two numbers here: the first number is PAR, total points above replacement (either adding to points for or lowering points against), a measure of how many total points a player creates, while the percentage is VOA, value over average, a measure of contributions per play. In either case, the larger the number, the better. The numbers in brackets represent overall ranks for that player type.
Anyhow, here are (some of) your New England Patriots, with some selected comparisons:
QUARTERBACKS
Tom Brady: 46.2 [1], 101.3% [1]
Carson Palmer: 28.4 [4], 39.4% [8]
RUNNING BACKS
Laurence Maroney: 11.3 [3], 32.4% [6]
Sammy Morris: 7.5 [11], 39.9% [2]
LaDainian Tomlinson: -4.4 [35], -31.6% [33]
Rudi Johnson: -6.7 [40], -40.7% [36]
TIGHT ENDS
Antonio Gates: 12.7 [1], 53.4% [5]
Benjamin Watson: 6.0 [6], 85.6% [1]
WIDE RECEIVERS
Randy Moss: 19.7 [1], 99.0% [1]
Chad Johnson: 18.1 [2], 53.5% [7]
Wes Welker: 8.5 [8], 39.4% [12]
Marvin Harrison: 6.1 [23], 18.9% [29]
Deion Branch: 4.6 [30], 15.3% [34]
