Derek Carr insists Burfict is a 'great person' deep down.
"I think he's one of the most misunderstood people in the NFL," Carr said.
Carr says he didn't know anything about Burfict before the Raiders signed him during the offseason ... but"he quickly turned into one my favorite teammates I've ever had." "He's one of the most genuine, awesome people I've been around. He's a great teammate. He works his tail off and he's a great guy.""I don’t think he was trying to hurt that man.
"We see other people choking people out and they're going to play this Sunday. We see other people hitting people in the helmets and they're going to play this Sunday. And, Vontaze won't play for the rest of the year? I think that’s a little excessive if you ask me. I don’t think it's fair."Raiders head coachalso weighed in on the punishment ... saying,"It hurts our team really bad. And, I'm anxious to see what the appeal says.
