Not the first time a back-up QB has taken over late in the season and won a SB. Jeff Hostetler replaced Phil Simms for the Giants.

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.

Foles did not play like Foles until the playoffs. In four games after Wentz went down he had a rating of 69, 115, 59 and 9. Until then, he looked like the scared colt he was after his rookie season with Kelly.
You have to play them to find out if they can play. Lots of player development is obscure and hard to track from a fan point of view. They have to play in actual games to prove their worth. Folks had to start and he did not sink, but got better after those four games.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

Nick Foles is an NFL Backup QB that simply delivered on his confidence in the Super Bowl Game. It will be his Crowning Achievement and his NFL Career as Super Bowl LII MVP.

Foles was pretty inspiring in his 2nd season, wasn't he? Dude proved that season that he can definitely play in the NFL.
Hundley? He sucked in the preseason, but it was clear as day to everyone other than Thompson and McCarthy (and maybe Tex) after 3 games and 2 starts that Hundley couldn't - and still can't -play. Thompson should've signed Kap. McCarthy pretty much simplified the offense for Hundley, a 3rd year player playing like the rookie Kizer. No reason he couldn't do the same for Kap til Kap got familiar with the playbook.
If not Kap, Flynn was sitting at home all day last fall annoying the shit out of his hot wife. Flynn knows McCarthy's playbook like the back of his hand. After a couple of warm up throws, and despite his noodle-arm, Flynn would've been more accurate than The Hun.
Hundley might make a good coach someday, given his team-first attitude, but he can't play in the NFL. He's not even a good backup.
