Blake Bortles still not bothered by criticism, weirdly calls himself the ‘scapegoat’

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles takes a lot of criticism, the majority of it deserved, but to his credit he’s always handled it well and taken it in stride. He’s been one of the first to lay blame on himself, even if it’s not deserved, and always made some good self deprecating jokes at the podium.

If it wasn’t known by now to anyone, Bortles isn’t bothered by the outside criticism of him from fans, media or even other players.

“I’m totally at peace with that,” Bortles told NFL Network’s Michael Silver the week leading up to the loss to the Houston Texans.
