Carr said that it is easy to point fingers and a lot of people are doing it for him. “It’s easy to point the finger at other people. It’s easy to blame others. Trust me, I’ve got a lot of family members trying to do that for me,” Carr said, according to raidersbeat.com.
But he refused to point any fingers. Carr said that he just wants to be a better version of himself going forward. “But I say, you know what, I’m not going to do that. That’s comfortable for me. That really could be a comfortable place but I’m going to step out of that. I’m going to say I just can’t wait to be better myself,” Carr continued.
