The indication on Monday night from various reports is that this isn't the first time Carter has had to be reprimanded for not doing what the Giants need him to do.

He very well could still develop into a dominant force. But right now, between the drama and the lack of productivity, Carter isn't yet endearing himself to Giants fans.
