Plus, the Chiefs have a guy named Ray Farmer whose job is to know what veteran QBs would be best suited for the Chiefs. That's his full-time job. Haley doesn't have the ability or time to scout other NFL QBs the way he does. Plus, coaches are often overly loyal to players. Dick Vermeil wanted Tony Banks to start but the front office forced Trent Green on Vermeil. When the talent gap is that obvious, it is absolutely on the front office to step in.
There is simply no excuse on Pioli's end to not have brought in legit QB competition.

No he does not, you're give Haley too little power in this analysis. How do you know Vermeil wanted Banks to start? Who told you that, Vermeil? Did you read it? You don't know any of this. You're a fan that decided Haley got screwed. The GM signs players and retains players, yes he kept Palko on the roster, but he does not make game day starting decisions.And it wasn't his decision on the depth chart. As far as I'm concerned Pioli thought Palko was a third string, practice squad QB, and nothing more.
