[font=Publico Text Web]If there’s one truth I know about this game it’s that psychologically it can chew you up and spit you out, especially if you’re a quarterback. And if you’re the type that can get rattled, you won’t last long. Blake is a guy who has faced just about as much criticism as any player in the league, and all he’s done is go out and help this franchise win a division title and two playoff games.[/font]
[font=Publico Text Web]Seeing a teammate absorb all of that then just shake it off and perform is something every guy in our locker room respects. He’s taken all of the hate and people who have underestimated him, and used it to his advantage. I’ll put it this way: There are a whole bunch of Blake Bortles critics who are going to be watching him play in the AFC championship game from their couch. That’s one Blake Bortles fact I really love.[/font]

[font=Publico Text Web]That attitude is something we’ve all kind of adopted. We all ignored the expectations that the outside world had. We didn’t get hung up on what other people said we were capable of. We just focused on playing our game all season long, and it took us right to the playoffs.[/font]
This entire team is bonded together. Any critic who still thinks Bortles isn't good enough is out of their mind.
