The Tale of Tom Brandstater - The QB God

Hello fellow phinsider members/lurkers.My name is AnishB15 and I am here to tell the tale of the mighty Brandstater for those who were not here when this phenomenon spread throughout the Dolphins blog of SBNation (and a little bit in the Rams blog, my fault). So, we shall begin our journey after the jump. JUMP!!!

Now that we have all jumped, let us begin...

The beginning, the discovery of a legend

How did this legendary figure first start out? Kdog92 does a great job describing the god's childhood and founding. The full text of his account can be found here. I'll recap some of the main points. The child god started out in California, and was recruited to Fresno St. He sat as a greyshirt and redshirt for the first two years, and was the backup in his third. In his fourth, fifth and sixth year at Fresno St. he started, playing admirably,even being a dark horse Heisman candidate in his final year. Brandstater was ranked as the 5th best QB in the draft (what an injustice!), but his stock plummeted due to a poor (for a god) scouting combine. He was drafted in the 6th round by the Denver Broncos. He served as Kyle Orton's backup in his rookie year, before Denver went QB crazy and traded for Brady Quinn and drafted Tim Tebow. Brandstater was cut and picked up by the Colts. Brandstater and Curtis Painter competed for the backup spot,which was given to Painter even though Brandstater CLEARLY outplayed him. Makes you wonder how good the Colts wouldve been this past year if they chose Brandstater over Painter. Then the phins picked him up, and the real story began.

The evolution, from backup QB, to GOD

Brandstater's evolution started with this post by Gatorfan4life (who does not seem to be active anymore). The legend then evolved through the comments. During training camp, Tony Sparano's stupidity caused him to cut the man-god, as evidenced by this fanshot (read ALL of the comments). Which was followed up by this fanpost by Bserious72. Brandstater was immediately snatched by the Dallas Cowboys (out of all of the crap we took from the cowboys, they just HAVE to go and steal the BEST player the Dolphins have EVER had). he was released by them and picked up by the Rams when the injury bug hit them. I have gone on some missionary trips to their blog to spread the truth, but they seem to not be accepting.
