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.

Really?? I swear they like to send TD on blitz a few times a game.. And honestly Carter has looked better in pass coverage than Mayo has since he's been here..

I'm on the bandwagon. He's flashed across the screen and made some plays. Instincts are on point, nose for the football. After TD, it looks like the future will be bright. He's definitely a keeper!

Yeah, I'm a fan.  He has good lateral quickness.  

We have Mayo listed as MLB2, Carter at SLB2, Ben Jacobs WLB2 but Jacobs is our ST lock.  

I can see Carter being the one who fills in for TD.  I really think we should cut Jacobs to keep Norris and Smith though.

Kuechly-Mayo-Norris

TD

Carter-Smith (Interchangeable at weakside and strongside) 

7 LBs is probably the most you'd want to go though.  Smith is either to the PS or we cut Jacobs.
