No he wasn't. There were 7 rookie guards that took at least 50% of max snaps and Volson was #4. Right smack in the middle. Average.
I agree, at this point, with him starting the season. If he doesn't improve by the time Collins is fully healthy, they should consider using someone else at LG. Or deal with his sub-par play and look for a replacement next FA or draft. There's absolutely nothing about his game that indicates he will be a "good" starting NFL guard, up to this point.
"A 4th-round pick out of North Dakota State," Nathan Cooper wrote. "Volson started every game and played every snap at guard for the Bengals this season. His 26 Total Points were 3rd among rookie guards. He finished with a 2.6% blown block rate, but only a 1.2% blown block rate on run plays, which tied him for 9th-best among guards with at least 500 snaps played."
9th out of ALL Guards doesn't scream below avg to me. Sure there's area's he needs to improve on, but he's shown that he can improve, the only G that really played better was Zion Johnson (who was drafted in the 1st round). Who are the other 2 you say finished above him?

Everyone (from Duke down to the fans) seems to be "fine" with Volson being the starter this year, except for you I guess. If management wasn't "fine" with it then they would have done something about it.
