Last year he was 23 times in only 10 games. 23 times, and he was 7-3 up to that point and most likely on route to a 10+ win season. Hardly seems like someone who falls apart when something goes wrong.
He does have a temper on the sideline, anyone could see that but I really dont blame him, after the 4th sack in only the 2nd quarter, given up by the same LT, I'd like to think most QBs would be pretty openly livid at that player.
Finally; Lovie Smith, Brian Urlacher, Lance Briggs, Julius Peppers and Charles Tillman have all noted him as a natural leader on the field and I think the fact he is belligerent, vocal and angry make him look like a bad team player when most QBs in the league have a much more passive and quiet manner about them when things are going south

I'm positive I can string together some stats to show that 15 of the QB's in the league are in the top tier. When you just focus on part of the picture its easy to paint any picture you like right?
When you look at his entire resume, to me, he is the poster child in the NFL today for falling apart when things go wrong. He whined his way out of Denver, because his feelings were hurt, and while having a great arm, with a ton of accuracy, the quote above is perfect. He says 'screw it' and melts down when things don't go perfectly for him.
Well respected, senior players in the league never say "same old Tom" or "same old Peyton" or "same old Drew". that quote by Woodson is telling, not only about what he thinks of him on the field, but off as well.
