Bottom line is no one here knows what Carman's back issue really is. I suspect he had a herniated disk and had spinal fusion, but that's a guess. Either way, it was admirable how he finished his college career before having the surgery, and no one should really expect him to be 100% over an off season. We've all seen him flash, and according to the coaches, his biggest problem is consistency, which IMO goes along with how his back is feeling on a particular day. I expect big things from him this season, he moved back to the left side where he is more natural, and he has a year under his belt as a guard. Another camp with Pollack teaching him and the other linemen pushing him for playing time, I think he will be much better this year. Either way, it' his position to lose right now and we should at least give him a chance before writing him off.
