Quote:Greg Gabriel of the NFP chimes in on Bortles play from the Tampa game:

 

<p style="margin-left:40px;">"...As most readers of this site are already aware, I am not a Blake Bortles fan. In clarifying that, it’s not that I don’t like him. I just happened to feel that he was vastly overrated

The article reads as a bit begrudging, like he's experiencing a bit of cognitive dissonance. Probably stems from his desire to not be wrong about the guy.
