Giants’ Bradshaw: Romo can’t win Super Bowl

Add critiquing his rivals to the list of things New York Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw hasn't been able to stop himself from doing lately.

Bradshaw, who famously scored the game-winning touchdown in the Super Bowl due to his momentum despite trying to stop at the 1-yard-line, questioned Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo's ability to lead the team to its own Super Bowl victory.

"You know what, man, I don't see it happening," Bradshaw said on the NFL Network. "I don't think they believe it, and they're America's Team. It all comes in together. If the fans don't believe it, the team doesn't. They're kinds doubtful with Romo."

The Giants beat Romo's Cowboys twice down the stretch in the regular season to squeeze ahead of them and claim the NFC East. Romo has been the frequent target of criticism for his failure to win in the postseason or other key pressure spots.

Of course, the Giants should be familiar with the concept of a running back questioning the leadership of a quarterback doubted by fans—and how the words can come back to bite the person saying them.

Eli Manning was once seen as someone who couldn't lead the Giants to a Super Bowl and former teammate Tiki Barber infamously called his leadership attempts "comical" in 2007. Manning went on to win the first of his two Super Bowl MVP awards that season.

    This Giant team was lucky, they got beat by Washington twice and the Saints rolled em by 25. Lucky you say why? How about a hail mary touchdown and a scoop score gift for 7 against Green Bay. Thats 14. Friscos punt returner handed you 7 and the eventual game geez. Yea you won it, congrats all day you need breaks to get it. But please tell you overgrown overrated running backs to shut their pieholes. They are really annoying.

    Hehehe what a great season! I'm so happy. Each day is like Christmas morning. Superbowl champions! Swept and embarrassed Dallas and finally shut fat rexs and the jets mouths for good as well. After convincingly embarrassing both teams I'm so glad I can stop hearing about them. The nail is in the coffin. For awhile. Later!

    Actually Joseph (gay name) your wrong Again. The giants have 4 superbowl titles. And the franchise HAS MORE CHAMPIONSHIPS than the Dallas cowboys. Incase you didn't know teams played football prior to the superbowl being the main event. I believe the giants as a franchise in football history have 7-8 championship titles including all major titles. And 4 SB titles. But in the end who cares. The giants you hate so Much EMBARRASSED the cowboys on prime time tv to smash them for the playoff birth and title. It appears Dallas is and was much shittier LOL than ny. Run along now

    Yea Joseph LOL. Luck. It was magic. Ny SMASHED Dallas in the most watched reg season game for the TITLE. They smashed GB in GB and beat sf and beat ne twice. All number 1 and 2 seeded playoff teams. Luck.....sure. in 08 the following year the giants were the best team in the NFC and the number one seeded team. Guess that year the eagles had some luck in beating ny. This year if any of these teams were that much better than they should have won CONVINCINGLY. But they didn't. If they were that much better than the giants then they should have been able to overcome the Magic spells the giants were casting on them. U clown. Any way you want to look at it. Statistically or based on performance the giants were a top NFL team at the end of the year. Like the "lucky" 10-6 packers last year they got players back at the right time and started playing their best football when it counted most. Thriving under pressure. 2 Superbowls in 4 years. Hahahaha its great. Dalllas hasn't won't in what almost 30yrs. You guys must have drafted out a 30yr plan to win it. Lol get lost. None of you have an intellectual argument and are just crying. Hahaha the giants smashed u this year. Swept Dallas. Last year breaking romo in two ending your pathetic claim to a superbowl run that started with like 7 straight losses. Yea ok. Yes troll now back under ur bridge. I believe u embarrassed yourself enough. Luck lol. It was magic LOL. Sorry son to break it to you but the tooth fairy Easter bunny and Santa aren't real. Either is having Luck carry a team to run the Table in the playoffs with no bye week twice in four years. I'm sooo happy!

    Tacoma BJ you're as classless as your shitty giants... Get over it and recognize that you pissy giants won by luck both times, in 2008 and this year. Neither the giants nor the patriots should've made the superbowl. It's a disgrace for the NFL to have suah sucky teams in the superbowl. Watch, if they're that good they should have a great season next year like GB did this year, following their superbowl win. But the giants will not make the playoffs next year... LOL, TROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    You whiney weak B I T CHES. The giants won the superbowl again lol get over it. Twice in two years. The giants talk because its insane to the team and fans that you trolls aren't hiding under a bridge like you should be. Why don't you clowns claim you are going to another superbowl again this year and then drop 7games or whatever like u did last year. Clowns. U trolls should not be Speaking. What is Dallas on the 30year plan LOL oh wow guess you guys are close to springing your big trap. Great idea LOL. How about you trolls either pay respect or go away. Cause a lot of you sound like Jacka s ses. It's insane and you are all delusional. You clowns said this same crap in 08. It was Luck you suck. Following year the giants had a successful season. And no again 4years later NFC east champs this time. Smashing Dallas in the most viewed biggest regular season game of the yewr and won the NFC title and the superbowl. You guys are hilarious. If any of you clowns are available I would like to hire some of you to entertain at w child's birthday party. Let me know.

    Nice, Bradshaw makes on the great bonehead plays in SB history by not falling down on the 1 foot line and giving Tom Brady the ball back and nowhe's calling out Romo? I rooted for the Giants. Now I wish Brady would have drove the length of the field and shoved that TD up Bradshaw's a$$.

    The same was once said about both Mannings and even Terry Bradshaw was said to be to dumb to win, Dan Marino was a great QB for the Dolphins, but never won a Super Bowl. Great teams win Super Bowls, great players just lead. The Giants won because they had possibly the best defensive front in the NFL and they were healthy and on a roll going into the playoffs. Tony is capable of winning a Super Bowl with the Cowboys, if they can put together a team capable of winning.

    You need to ask yourself, was Bradshaw's comments made out of sour grapes, arrogance, or just past facts?? Well, look at Romo's past play and make an educated decision. Put aside your prejudices and then decide. The real question if your a Dallas fan, is Romo's past something that gives me a sense that he will step up and win, or will history, well repeat itself. Of course the Giants winning the Superbowl was all luck, and of course the Cowboys not winning has nothing to do with Romo, that also must be just bad luck. Think about it.

    It s kind of funny how teams like the giants want to run their mouths about other teams right after they win a super bowl. I never heard the COWBOYS running their mouths about any team after their 5 SUPER BOWL title seasons. Show some class giants and shut up!

    He is right. Romo is to soft. Who is the emotional leader on the team. I say when this team had someone on the team who would put a foot in someones butt they scared the league. Remember Jimmy Johnson, Micheal Irvin, Charles Haley, Tom Landry, Roger Staubach, Bill Parcells. Those were leaders. A leader does not look down after he has made a mistake. He dors not go and sit down on the bence, and look defeated. He get his teamates together and look them in the eye and say's "When we get the ball back we are going to beat the @$%#^&#& out of these guys and then score." This team need some @#$% kicker on it. Mr. Jerry Jones you need Jimmy Johnson's atitude Find some playmakers. Stop falling in love with the players. Stop talking about winning a Super Bowl. Go, take them like you guys use too.

    Peyton RODGERS brees Brady Eli.........nope don't see romo up there. and no romo hasn't put him to shame. Romo the choke artist who folds under pressure constantly. Romo can throw for Allllll the 300yd games he wants. But when the game is on the line. When he has to win the game. Time after time. He chokes. He may not fumble or always throw ints.......but when he does he likes to make sure its at the end of games. Eli is a clutch qb. He wins. Romo chokes time and time again. Dallas will never win a SB with him at qb. What's he waiting for.

    Oh boy, here goes tacomabjj2 with his stupid comments again!!! The giants suck as much now as they did in their 2008 superbowl win. They were lucky, shitty and made it to the post-season only because dallas let them win the dallas game in dallas. Then they got lucky against green bay, and very lucky against sf. They then won the sb because the patriots had the worst defense in the league, and even with that they barely won that game... And by the way tacoma3, gayboy eli is not even in the top 20 qb's in the league, please, they're trying to compare his prayers of throws to his brother peyton who's a real qb!!! Also, romo is head and shoulders over eli and would put him to shame anytime...
    No worries, the giants won't make the playoffs next year showing how crappy and lucky they were this year... LOL!!!

    Brdshaw doesn't even know how to talk. Giants were not even the fourth best tr=eam in the leage. They got the breaks and calls aganinst the 49's. Giants were 9-7. How great were they? Romo had a great year, you can;t blame him. Coah blew a few, defense could not hold anybody, and a bunch of dropped balls. Romo is not hte problem

    Too funny - Rather than congratulate the Giants for their win and season, they can't stop themselves from being dopes. No Congrats here... It took all of the bounces and all of Hail Mary's go get you through the season. The fact that your team keeps talking about the Cowboys shows just how much you envy the team, fans, stadium and ownership. Rather than enjoy your season, you must talk about all things Dallas. Rest assured the only reason I'm reading this is because it had something to do with Dallas, not the Giants. You have my pitty - signed a life long Dallas fan
