The Arizona Cardinals lost starting quarterback Carson Palmer on Sunday, and the team fears he will be done for the season. That means the 8-1 Cardinals will now lean on career backup Drew Stanton for the final half of the season, and hopefully the playoffs.

Stanton has played in 16 games over his eight-year career in the NFL, thrown eight touchdowns, and nine interceptions. The Cardinals are saying all the right things. Head coach Bruce Arians even said he thinks Arizona can win a Super Bowl with Stanton.

But can they, really?

A backup quarterback has replaced the starter seven times before and won a Super Bowl. These are their stories.

Roger Staubach, 1971

Craig Morton was the Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback for the first three weeks of the ’71 season. After stumbling against the Redskins in Week 3, Staubach was given the Week 4 start. He never relinquished his position, and the Cowboys went on to win Super Bowl VI 24-3 over the Miami Dolphins.

Terry Bradshaw, 1974

Bradshaw rode the bench for the Steelers’ first six games of the ’74 season, after starting off and on the first four years of his career. Things changed quite significantly in Week 7, when Bradshaw got his first start of the year. He didn’t throw a touchdown in that game, but managed to go 11-2 to close out his season. The Steelers won Super IX, the first of four Pittsburgh titles in the next six years with Bradshaw under center.

Jim Plunkett, 1980

A Heisman winner with an utterly underwhelming professional career to his name, Plunkett replaced Dan Pastorini in Week 6 of the 1980 season. Oakland was 2-3 when Plunkett assumed control. He went 9-2 to close out the regular season before ultimately earning Super Bowl MVP honors in a 27-10 hammering of the Philadelphia Eagles.

Jeff Hostetler, 1990

Not only did Jeff Hostetler knock off the wildly favored Buffalo Bills in Super Bowl XXV, he also had to overcome Joe Montana and the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship game after Phil Simms broke his foot. Hostetler did both, while wearing an incredible mustache before Movember was even a thing.

Kurt Warner, 1999

After the Rams released Tony Banks and Steve Bono in ’98, Warner was given second string responsibilities behind Trent Green. Green tore his ACL in preseason, Warner took over, and so began the Greatest Show on Turf.

Trent Dilfer, 2000

Speaking of Tony Banks, the quarterback was absolutely dreadful through the first eight weeks as the Ravens play caller. Enter Trent Dilfer, who immediately … lost. After that Week 9 loss, Dilfer won 11 consecutive games, including a 34-7 rout of the New York Giants in Super Bowl XXXV.

Tom Brady, 2001

Drew Bledsoe went down in Week 2 of the 2001 season, opening the door for a young upstart named Tom Brady. Brady went on to upset the St. Louis Rams, lead a dynasty, and star in an UGGs commercial.
