My short answer on this is, it depends.
If Carpenter returns to almost automatic as he was two years ago, but can't reach the end-zone consistently then yes, I'm fine with that.
Ideally the answer is no but does anyone know if Gay has been given a chance to try extra points and field goals?
If Gay can't consistantly hit field goals and Carpenter is inconsistant then the Bills should bring in a 3rd option into camp
