Carman put off back surgery so he could play in the National Championship game, then came in post surgery. He was out of shape for sure, but you can't just disregard his back injury.
Yes he had maturity issues, he was still a kid.
Jonah, on the other hand (and this is not bashing Jonah, if he wins the spot so be it) was a first round pick who did not even make it through OTA's without a season ending injury, so locking a starting spot on day 1 is a pretty good stretch.
His second season he played all of 10 games before going on injured reserve again with a knee injury. So he played 10 games in his first two seasons. Never been beaten out, but is out A LOT for injury.
Then last year he dislocated both kneecaps. What makes you think his knees are not going to be a recurring problem???
No one knows how injuries will work out.
I am just telling you guys that there is a difference in the talent and experience of these 2 players. If Carman wins RT I welcome everyone to come at me let me know they were correct. But I would bet my house that Jonah, if cleared to play and still on the roster, is the starting RT and there will be zero hesitation by the coaches to do so.
He’s also all in on a move to right tackle: “"I'll be happy to be a contributor on a team where I have so many great teammates. l love everyone in the room, love the coaches, love the fans. I'm stoked."
