But the thing I find odd is how many players are ripping him.  I can't remember the last time I've heard so many comments from so many players.  There have been far worse players over the years none of which have received the constant bashing Bortles is getting.  And it's not like it's all coming from just one team that perhaps we have a rivalry with.  It's multiple players across many teams.  I don't get it.  It's weird.  I keep joking that Bortles, who it sounds like gets around, must be hooking up with players girlfriends across the league.
