But I don't think people have to necessarily root for Carman to get supplanted so soon.
Fans should hope Carman pans out so that it's not a wasted early-round pick like Drew Sample.
Also, you say how you were "disgusted" with the pick and he's not reliable because of injury.
He played more games as a rookie than Jonah Williams, and Williams has turned into quite a solid OL.
Maybe we should wait another year or two before declaring Carman a bust and needing to move on from him as a potential starter.
It is the type of injury that concerns me with the position he plays. I was never overly concerned about Jonah Williams injuries. Anyway you will see, he might be able to give us a few games here and there but the back injury will always be there and will not get better with the pounding on it from playing OL. I would be OK with Carman as a backup because I believe he might be able to give us solid snaps in an emergency but that is about it. If you ever had a back injury you would know this. It is like an achilles tear for a skill position player, I just know that player will never be a top end player again.
