Tony Romo to play against the Rams with broken Pinkie Finger?

Apparently Brett Favre’s little phone call down to the Dallas Cowboys star Quarterback Tony Romo payed off.  The Cowboys leader is doing everything in his power to get ready for Sunday’s game vs. the St. Louis Rams.  I personally think this is a horrible idea.  The Rams are one of the weaker teams in the NFL.  If Romo really wants to play, at least wait a week and let the finger heal a little bit.  I think Brad Johnson is capable of leading our offense against this team – at least for a week.  

But like all kids, whenever we get a new toy we immediately want to go out and play with it.  I am pretty sure that’s how Romo feels about his new star wide-receiver Roy Williams.  Hell, if I were him, I’d want to come out and see what I could do with this explosive offense as well.  The problem is, it just isn’t a good idea.  Long term, we need a healthy Tony Romo – especially with the difficult games against the NFC East looming.

 

Here’s an article discussing the possibilities

::UPDATE::  According to Dallas Morning News’ Calvin Watkins, Tony Romo has officially confirmed to the coaching staff that he is ready to play against the Rams this sunday.
