Quote:I saw/heard this and shook my head a little.  It is light hearted and somewhat funny, but I'd prefer my QB, or any professional at anything that hasn't performed well, to present a more serious face regarding his/her performance.  On its own, it's not that big of a deal.  Combined with everything that's happened this season with the rumors about Bortles extracurricular activities, it appears to me to be another symptom of a larger problem and he doesn't appear to be on track to fixing it.  He just doesn't seem serious to me about wanting to be a professional.

 

Can you imagine Tom Brady or Peyton Manning ever saying anything like this?  I can't.  I know he was never going to be either one of those guys, but at least try to emulate greatness.

I understand this thought...

 

But like I said above.. he's been saying "I cant do this. I gotta be better at this" for like 12 weeks now.

 

I don't recall any specific time where a Brady or Manning said something like that... but at least Bortles isn't saying "pressure makes diamonds" or anything stupid like that.

We are where we are in this season and most of these guys are ready for the offtime already. 

 

 

Also... I don't buy these nonsense Bortles is a bar bum comments and rumors.

If dude had a problem, the team would know it and there wouldn't be rumors swirling, there'd be proof and it'd be news in todays world.
