I think youre mistaken that Pioli saddled Haley with Palko. Haley could have said Palko needs to be cut, Haley could have gone to Stanzi be bore even thinking about putting in Palko. Sorry, I don't put the whole Palko fiasco on Pioli.

You're telling me that the GM of a franchise didn't have the power or the guts to overrule the coach about a player that was so glaringly bad? Pioli didn't even have to second-guess Haley. He could have signed a veteran 4th string QB for cheap and let Haley decide which 3 QBs he could have kept. JFC.
And you are an idiot if you think Orton was only brought in in Chicago to run a flea-flicker. He was brought in to replace Palko. Orton should have started that game, but the timing of Orton coming into the game made it very clear that he was the QB from that point forward.
