View Full Version : Enough With The Stable Analogy!

For one, it's older than dirt. Two, the analogy is kinda demeaning. If I were a black guy I'd be insulted if someone referred to me as a thorougbred and I belonged in a stable. I'm not an animal! It congers up images of slavery.
There! I said it!
OK. Maybe I have an overactive imagination, but I can't believe I'm the only one. And it's the off season and there's not enough rumors, inuendos and half-truths on this board to keep me entertained during my lunch hour.

If stable has been ruled out, what is the proper term for a strong group of players at a certain position?
Is it herd? covey? herd? pack? array? pod? horde? colony? flock? pride? colony? swarm?
What is it? I am lost.

So what's your analysis of our fine stable of quarterbacks heading into the 2012 season?

it has nothing to do with race, if anything it has to do with the fact that running backs run long distances. i wonder how toby gerhart felt about being referred to as part of a "stable" of backs

If that is the worst thing to happen to him, he has led a very charmed life and will get over it or not.

Steed will be a nice addition to our stable of punters.

I would not mind one bit being referred to as a thoroughbred. Have you looked closely at those things? Beautiful, muscular perfection. Majestic.
If it is intended as a compliment, its a compliment.
We also have a fine stable of quarterbacks.
