Although it has been touched on in some comments from Ravens players in other posts, I didn't see any direct comments on this. First Bart Scott called him a Drama King after going out on field after injury in Miami game and then Brian Billick said the following:
"This guy’s going to the Hall of Fame … Toughest quarterback maybe I’ve seen in the NFL. But he’s a diva, we know that,” Billick told The Fan Morning Show. “And he’s going to drag that leg out there, and he’s gonna throw for 400 yards against the [Baltimore] Ravens.”
I know some on here have made the claim he is a Drama Queen/Diva, but I thought Kordell Stewart made excellent points that I have always felt as well:
"I’ve never seen a diva drag a leg out on a football field and play knowing that at any moment it could give out or anything, I think he’s just a tough guy. Being that Coach Billick had to play against the Pittsburgh Steelers for many years and myself being a quarterback in Pittsburgh and going against him…I beat him 8 times out of 9 times, and I don’t think he likes that too, too much, and I think that’s kind of a jab at the Pittsburgh Steelers.”
And when asked about Cam's comments about safety:
“See, that’s the difference between a diva, and lets just say, Ben Roethlisberger. Now that’s a diva mentality.”
Just thought it was interesting and astute, A Diva doesn't have their nose broke, and get back out and play, have surgery and come back and play ASAP.
