Could Tony Romo be the answer for the Packers?  Troy Aikman thought it was at least worth mentioning. 

One former Cowboys quarterback turned top NFL analyst suggested the other for the Packers job after Aaron Rodgers was likely lost for the season with a broken collarbone. 

“Who knows, maybe they can talk Tony into coming in and playing quarterback for them,” Aikman suggested during the game. “ I think with all the issues with injuries they have it’s not going to matter… I can’t imagine (general manager) Ted Thompson is going to make some big move.  I’m halfway joking about Romo.  I don’t think he would come out of the booth to do it, but I think they’ll stick with [Brett] Hundley because of everything else that’s happening with this team.” 

“Everything else” is the slew of injuries that had decimated the offensive line, and other areas, before Rodgers injury put the 4-2 Packers season on life support. 

Hundley, who had previously attempted 10 passes in two seasons as Rodgers’ backup, struggled against the Vikings, completing 18-of-33 passes for 157 yards with three interceptions.  Romo is a Wisconsin native and prior to the season had left open the slightest of possibilities that he would considering returning to the league. 

ESPN’s Adam Schefter also threw out the possibility of Romo to Green Bay. 

But, as Aikman suggested, it is a long shot for Romo or the Packers to consider this route.  Romo, 37, has moved with ease from the field to the booth, earning plaudits for the job he has done in his first season at CBS.
