Carman is clearly better than Hakeem Adeniji but he got pulled for Adeniji and then sat behind him this year on the depth chart when you could see on film that should have never been the case. I am not saying Carman is some all-pro but you have to think what's keeping Carman from seeing the field is more than what he's put on film.
Carman is not a guard and that seems very apparent. People have judged him by his interior play but being able to play tackle does not mean that you can play guard. I believe that Adeniji and Carman both are testaments to this. The positions are completely different animals and require different skill sets. While Adeniji did not set anything on fire even at tackle he looked far better than he did inside. I believe the playoffs showed that Carman is a better player in space and I believe he earned a legit shot at the starting RT job.
