The only mistake Haley made was not starting him in Chicago. He dislocated his finger in Chicago.
He couldn't play vs the Jets. Finger.
He played the next game vs GB.

As for why Palko was on the roster? That was a lot more Pioli than Haley, and fits the overall theme that Pioli didn't want anyone on the roster that could possibly create a QB controversy. It's not like Pioli brought anyone into training camp to compete with Tyler Palko, unless you count Croyle/Guttierez, two guys who were so bad they aren't in the league anymore.
Case closed.
