At the time with Josh Rosen still under contract and the Cardinals holding the first pick, the question was more why Brett Hundley?
Now, with Kyler Murray in tow and the Cardinals offense, the secret offense no one can talk about, taking shape it makes more sense.
SB Nation ranked each NFL teams backup quarterback situation and the Cardinals find themselves in a good situation similar to a number of other teams:
Brett Hundley, Cardinals
Matt Barkley, Bills
Chase Daniel, Bears
Drew Stanton, Browns
AJ McCarron, Texans
Chad Henne, Chiefs
Brian Hoyer, Patriots
Trevor Siemian, JetsThis is the largest tier of backups in the league and Hundley’s inclusion makes sense.
