But I thought preseason performances meant nothing??  Everyone could see how bad the basic fundamentals of pass blocking were, preseason or not.  At least the staff isn't hiding or downplaying that poo needs work.

Totally the wrong way to think about it.  Preseason performances are EVERYTHING - especially for guys on the bubble.  

Preseason RESULTS mean nothing.

And here we were thinking a month ago the online was one position we were set at

What is concerning is they thought that. They being management and the staff. 
Maybe Zavala will be something more than even the semi realistic thinking optimists expect.

Outside of Norwell is there anyone at guard out there worth overpaying for? I’d think with paying our QB nothing it would definitely be worth to overpay big time on the OL for the next 2 years

Our starting line last year was pretty solid and I am having a hard time believing we regressed so much in one off season. 

Maybe they bought into the Koolaid that they were a solid group and didn't put a good effort out there. If the next preseason game we don't see major improvement than I am sure many will start heading towards the panic button.

The O-LINE must be a priority every year with Young.  We cannot nickel and dime hoping to find a diamond in the rough.  We can't have Chandler or Bell or any other project out there.

If we nickel and dime this line we just wasted another first round QB career.

Not just first round, but the #1 pick in the draft QB's career is wasted. 

If you pick a QB #1 in the draft, you have to give him everything he needs to succeed. He is the player that determines your fate. That's why Ron pissed my off so much. Should have just drafted Von Miller if you were gonna ignore WR and OL, and just stack up on RBs, DTs and CBs.

True

With Young being so undersized the offensive line has to be top tier every season. We try to roll with the crap we've put out there during Cam's time we are going to get Young killed.
