Carpenter was in Buffalo for 4 season, and had 2 (arguably) very good seasons kicking FG's. All of a sudden he needs help learning how to kick in the Buffalo weather? Some times players just can't do their job anymore. Carp lost it, and no 50 year old former kicker was going to fix him, IMO.
Why should this reflect negatively on Whaley or anyone at OBD?
