The problem is gameday "active" roster spots.
They can list Stanzi as the emergency QB, which allows him to not consume an "active" roster spot, yet still play if the other 2 QBs go down. So theoretically, Stanzi would have to move up to the #2 on the depth chart, and Haley would have to be comfortable enough to have Palko only available in the event of 2 QB injuries.
Realistically for Stanzi to get in a game, one of a few things has to happen.
1. Both other QBs get hurt in game, making him active as the emergency QB.
2. A QB is hurt enough to be inactive, thus moving him up the depth chart by default.
3. Something has to shake up the depth chart.
I think the most realistic possibility at this point is #3. If Cassel continues to play like this, Haley is going to have to make a change. Whether through Cassel continuing to fail, or Stanzi progressing in practice, a shake-up to the depth chart is his best chance.
