There is a difference between competitiveness and ego. Payton and Brees showed the latter.
Where are you getting this losing the respect of your teammates crap? If any player was ready to quit regardless of the score then they don't deserve to be on the roster. I would expect that every player respected the fact that Payton and Brees refused to quit. And as I pointed out earlier a fact to which you ignored, two of the playoff seeding tiebreakers are total points scored and total number of touchdowns scored. Every scoring opportunity is important.
