Most head coaches don't start rookies unless they are exceptional rookies and there is no better option. Right now Palko is the better prepared QB. Hopefully that will change, but I think almost all NFL head coaches under these circumstances would do the same as Haley. Throwing a rookie that is not ready to the wolves isn't in the best interest of the team or the development of the rookie.
I think Haley and Zorn think a lot of Stanzi and want to bring him along in the way that will best develop his skills for the future. According to Haley they don't believe he is ready yet. I agree with them. He may end up starting yet this season out of necessity, but starting him before he is ready can hinder his development.
