So....

Hudler -> 78.6 x 0.52 = 40.87 points per season average
Moss -> 55.2 x 0.39 - 21.53 points per season average

In the end, because of Moss' inability to remain healthy, it's not really close at all.

...and I'm a Moss fan.
Yeah, that's why I didn't break it down to a ppg ratio in my post. It makes the numbers a lot closer, but the biggest criticism of Moss is his inability to stay healthy. An extra .13 ppg from Hudler is probably not worth the extra $2M aav, but the reality is Hudler will probably score 20 or so more pts a season than Moss, if for no other reason than playing 20-30 games more per season than Moss.
