The best part was they didn't ask specifically about the trash comment, they just asked if he's heard what people say and then went on to make his "if we're trash then I'm fine with being trash" comment
IT WAS ALWAYS THE JAGS

Maybe he cares just a little bit, making his statement completely true.

He handled the situation perfectly with his comments, grammatical error aside.

I like his train of thought. People are going to say what they're going to say and it's a waste of time to keep track of it and dwell on it. This shows a level of maturity more seasoned players (past and present) in the league could learn from. I like that he's not letting distractions get in his way. 

A lot of people keep saying he needs to answer Deion Sanders' call and be on his show. What the heck for? As erratic as his play has been over these last years, whatever he is doing now to improve as much as he has, he needs to keep doing that and ignore everything else. His job is to win games and that's what he's doing.

If I were a player of the past decade I wouldn't have come near this joint. The Modis building would have been better company.

This exactly. Bortles presser from Wednesday was unlike any I've ever seen him give. Just seemed more mature and an absolute pro. Man I hope the light has gone on and he continues to play well.
