Derek Carr on Michael Thomas comments: I don't know what I did to him

After Saints wideout Chris Olave suffered a concussion on a pass from Derek Carr early in Sunday's game against the Panthers, former Saints wideout Michael Thomas sent a concussion Series of tweets criticizes Carr for the throw.

Thomas called Carr “ass on my grandma” and said the Saints made a mistake by changing the offensive line coach because Carr continues to be the problem in New Orleans. After the 23-22 loss was over, Carr was asked about Thomas' comments.

Carr said putting a receiver in danger was “something I would never intentionally do to a teammate” and said it made him “sick” every time a player was injured while attempting a pass catch. Carr said he wished “it had never happened” and that he could have made Thomas happier when they were teammates, but he wasn't sure why Thomas held him in such low regard.

“I had so many teammates over the years and he's like the guy who didn't get along with me,” Carr said, via Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com. “And I don’t know what I did to him. I don't know why he thinks like that. I'm sorry that whatever he has to do, he feels like he has to do it. I don't know. But he never called me during that time. My phone number has never changed. I've actually called him on several occasions. Just to try. And sometimes you can try as hard as you want and it just doesn't work. And that's fine, so I don't know why he feels that way. I haven't seen it. I won't see it. Because I always ignore everything, good or bad. I try to ignore everything. It's unfortunate. Especially from a player like that. But I wish him all the best. I hope he gets on a team and does what he wants to do and loves it.”

The Saints have lost seven games in a row, so without injuries there would be a lot of bad feelings around the team, and the loss of Olave only made Sunday more painful for everyone involved.
