Haley, starting Palko, more than likely cost us the AFCW division champ.

I don't agree with the decision to start Palko against Chicago. But Haley made the clear QB switch in the 2nd quarter to Orton before he got injured. After he got injured, who knows if Haley would have started Palko or Orton against Green Bay. I'm sure he would have.
I blame him for being overly conservative in handling that situation in that he waited for Orton to be put in a comfortable situation before putting him in. Maybe in handling Stanzi, but we have absolutely no idea where he is in development right now.
But that's different from saying he was doing it to spite the organization.
And no, I don't think that cost us the AFCW championship. Who knows if Orton's finger was at all ready to play against the Jets. And who knows how well Stanzi would have played.
