I too enjoyed Quantum of Solace better on the second viewing and soon after watching it's prequel on DVD. I think it's a good film, not as good as Casino Royale. As for your plot hole, check out this extra scene.
M: We're going to send Caruthers with the money. Mitchell: Excuse me, M. M: Yes, Mitchell. Mitchell: Caruthers? He... er, drinks, so sending him to a Casino would be a mistake. M: You're over-stepping your role as my body-guard. Mitchell: Sorry, Ma'am. I just notice things- M: That's all right. Who would you suggest then? Mitchell: There's Vesper Lynd. M: A woman! You know what Bond's like. Mitchell: She looks like the back end of a bus. M: Very well then.
