So like a creature from some horror flick, he just kept showing up...

All this does is support the assertion that Volson is Pollack's love child and he refuses to explore other options. Nothing to assert he's "good".

He has flashes of great play at times, so there is hope for the guy. Volson played great in the 49ers game last year against Arik 
Armstead, he had some great blocks on a bunch of screens, namely the Chase Brown one that went to the house. Volson is our 
most athletic OL. As much as I dislike what Pollack has done, Volson still has a chance to be good if he gets more consistent.

Now would I take an upgrade at LG? Hell yeah I would and rather have Volson as decent depth.

I'm sure he's a great kid, works hard, and I'm rooting for him. But none of that will change my opinion (analytical data) that says he sucks. 

Quote:The program compensates players based on their playing time and salary levels with the intent to give additional money to players who performed beyond their contracts.

This bonus was put into the CBA in 2002 to reward players that had a significant amount of snaps compared to what they were being paid.  The language is a bit misleading but in this case "performance" is based on the definition of carry out an action and not the quality of the action performed.  So it is based on playing time vs. what they are getting paid.  The player performed and action, played X amount of snaps.

I suppose to avoid confusion they could rename it to the, "Played a lot but wasn't paid much bonus" 

Here is more information on the program for those interested in it:

It would see that Jake Browning fits into the definition of having a significant amount of snaps (as a starting QB) compared to what being paid. But I have not seen anything about what compensation he has received, if any. I hope that he was among those compensated. Otherwise, the Bengals should have given him a bump in pay just to be fair to him. I've seen the Chiefs do that for some of their players that overperformed their contracts.
