Why?

I guess we will see on Sunday whether playing Romo was a good idea or not.

So you're saying that there is no possibility of hurting the back any more than what it already is and resting it for another 2 weeks won't help it either.
If that's the case, then he might as well play.

The experts say it won't hurt him further down the line. Fingers crossed.

Foles has a broken bone and he is isn't playing.
Romo has two small broken bones but he MIGHT be playing - with a Bye coming up. That could possibly be an idiotic decision.

Are you a doctor?

Any given Sunday.
A Dallas loss would be devasting.

For example,
Jacksonville beat the currently 6-3 Browns this year.
The Rams destroyed the Patriots
Etc

Any given Sunday

By all account, the current Romo injury is unrelated to the corrected bulging disc issue.
He does not risk anything by playing...except that it will be insanely painful.

The pain alone could cause him to play poorly and make poor decisions.
See game 1 this year (still stiff and not quite ready) and the second half of the Detroit game several years ago (meds for broken ribs wore off) to see potential downside.

Just run the rock

I mean, I am no rocket scientist, but I'm pretty sure he will have a painkilling shot before the game. Call me crazy.....

I feel it's more than that. Tony needs and wants the reps.

Of course he will.
