This was a thought I had as well.
He recently said he feels he's been playing the same as he was earlier this year (whether we agree or not doesn't matter here)
Within that same conversation he said something about the OL playing well (i.e. better than when the backups were in) and the WRs have been making plays (i.e. not dropping passes)
This was about as close as I've ever heard Bortles placating blame. He didn't actually do it, he just hinted at it imo. A veiled "I'm playing the same, everyone around me finally stepped it up" sort of comment.
Whether he actually meant it that way doesn't really matter either.

Point being, Bortles might have a bit of a chip on his shoulder... a little Kirk Cousins "How do you like me now?!" moment if you will. Within that... he may not be interested in getting "the call". He's just trying to put in the work to get "the pay day". All the outside noise could alter his game and he's avoiding it.

Ol Mike Jones once said "Back then hoes didn't want me, now I'm hot, they all on me"
