Has already flash some skillsets that other backups have already shown they don't have.. It's not to crazy to see the kid might be better than them already..smh

Honestly, in what qe've seen of him so far, I think this is true, and he should be the starter in TD's absence.  He has an innate ability get to the passer and just looks more explosive out there.  Mayo is solid, but to me, he is just a guy...  he is kind of like the same player as Dan Connor, Adam Seward, and other late round MLBs we've usually had in the past...  he steps in and plays, and while he isn't neccessarily a liability, he isn't standing out either.  Carter has potential to be more.  I think Andre Smith does too, and the addition of Carter and Smith likely knock guys like Jacobs off the 53.

Yes, he can get to the QB . . . but seriously, that's not something we really ask our LB's to do with any sort of regularity.  That's something a 34 OLB does.  This is why everyone expected him to go to a 34 team.

We need someone who can play the edge on the run and cover a TE / RB in the pass game.

I will give you the fact that Mayo is solid, but don't tell me that he has the upside of Carter because it already would have showed. Carter is the more gifted athlete, and though I might not start him right now, because I believe it's still obvious that he's making the transition, I can easily see the argument for him to get out there sooner rather than later.

    • Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
    • Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was. 
    • I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
