Martykl, I'm sure you recognize that Mayer is a lot younger than the guys you hold him up to in comparison. Most young guitarists are imitators to a large degree until they find their own voice. I'm not a Mayer fan per se, frankly I'm never listened to him very much, but I can certainly recognize that he has the potential to be a great one. I will agree that his vocals don't do much for me.
Not bad, but not tasty... Give me SRV, David Gilmore, Ritchie Blackmore, Johnny Winter anytime. Lately, I've been enjoying Joe Bonamassa, Derek Trucks, Warren Haynes.
