If you think every great O-lineman just comes into the NFL great you are nuts Frank...
Takes time with every young player and this is only Carman's second year in the league.
Way too early to say he is a bust after just the first preseason game of his second year lol
I know you didn't say Carman is a bust but you sure hate the guy enough for me to presume that is what you think of him.

I just went and did a search on the forum for Ogbuehi and there are plenty of posts where you are singing his praise, talking about how good of a pick he was, how talented he is etc. Funny enough, there is a post where you talk about how Ogbuehi was a better prospect than none other than La'el Collins.
There is nothing wrong with this, you are just an optimist about the Bengals. However, you don't get to be an optimist AND re-write history
Sorry about that, didn't remember being too high on him. I give every player a chance.
You are probably correct. I can be about the most optimistic dude on the boards, just the way I am.

But we know OT probably isn't in the cards given the incredible lack of length.
If Carman can't show he can handle DTs while playing IOL, there's probably not any hope for him.
We just wouldn't have known that since we really just saw him at LT at Clemson.
The transition sounds easy on paper, but not every OT can shift inside well.
This could all be true but I still have hope for the guy. He flashes great things at times when he is healthy.
Too early to know for sure with Carman and a lot of these guys. Just happy we got Cappa, Karras, La'el and Volson.

BS, I hardly ever lie. You are a liar by saying such a thing.
