Which leads us to the question: Why didn't Thompson acquire a adequate backup QB after the final cuts back in September?

McCarthy gave The Hun a million reps in the preseason and The Hun was pretty much uninspiring. Was even outplayed by Hill. There were plenty of vet QBs better than Hundley available after the cuts. For one, Kap was willing to be a backup, and he would certainly have fared better holding down the fort than the Hun while A-Rod's collarbone regenerated.
