There were some mitigating circumstances for Carpenter his first few years but I also think Carroll and Schneider have less tolerance for that now that they're no longer trying to build a roster from scratch. If Carpenter had shown up this season overweight and out of shape there's a good chance he'd also be meeting new teammates right about now.. Talent and potential are only part of the equation in what they are looking for in players and if someone doesn't have the competitive fire and work ethic they want I think they'll cut them loose fairly quickly now and move on.
