Carman is everybody's favorite whipping boy, as he was a major disappointment here and seemingly elsewhere. People act like the coaches were daft for drafting him. Here's my take on him... I don't think he has the desire to do what it takes to succeed in this league, as he has interests in other areas like music. That said..... The NFL coaching community has done this kid no favors. He came into the league knowing how to play one position, left tackle. He played Left Tackle well enough at Clemson to get Sunshine and Co the National Title. So he gets drafted and the coaches want him to play every position BUT left tackle. He's obviously not talented enough to transition to the right side of the line and is not mean enough to play guard. But, when he got his chance to play Left Tackle, he wasn't horrible. He's not the best player by any stretch, but I think our coaches and elsewhere kind of screwed him by playing him out of position.
