Tony Romo will rescue the cheeseheads.
Soon after Aaron Rodgers went down with a broken collarbone <a title="DaeSean Hamilton Super Bowl LI Jersey" href="http://www.broncoscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-daesean-hamilton-jersey">DaeSean Hamilton Super Bowl LI Jersey</a> , Romo’s name was mentioned as a potential replacement for the injured Green Bay Packers quarterback.

The Packers (4-2) may be without Rodgers for the rest of the season. If so, they’re finished. But Romo could jump right in and lead them to the Super Bowl <a title="Wholesale DaeSean Hamilton Jersey" href="http://www.denverbroncosteamonline.com/daesean-hamilton-jersey">Wholesale DaeSean Hamilton Jersey</a> , right?
The same Romo who hasn’t thrown a pass since New Year’s Day? The one who last started a regular-season game 23 months ago?
Romo was 2-4 in six career playoff games. He’s better off wearing a suit and talking into a microphone on Sundays. Brett Hundley is Green Bay’s quarterback. And Colin Kaepernick won’t be, either.
