***They certainly do. I believe it used to be more common for a player to spend his whole career in a single club, but it certainly doesn't seem to be the norm these days. League sounds broadly feasible to me: though wouldn't that leave a pretty huge NFL-player-stub category, all the same? (Just guessing.) [[User:Alai|Alai]] 08:24, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
***They indeed do, but I assume there are many players who are notable as a player of one particular club. I see no reason to believe that American football is any different from football/soccer. George Best will always be associated with Manchester United. The same goes for sir Stanley Matthews and Stoke City. Michael Jordan will always be associated with the Chicago Bulls. Kobe Bryant will always be associated with the LA Lakers. [[User:Aecis|Aecis]] [[User_talk:Aecis|<sup>praatpaal</sup>]] 10:05, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
*****Sir Stan with ''Blackpool'', I hope you mean! Which gives some indication as to why this could be a problem. Played who have moved between several clubs could get many stub templates or even be subject to edit wars.

****The problem is, there certainly are players that will be associated with more than one, and players who wont be associated with any. I'd say that the best way with the players would be to go position: first break it into offensive player / defensive player, they after that into offensive backfield, offensive line, defensive line, and secondary, if need be. basically, i'm saying position would be the best.
*****You mean like {{tl|Quarterback-stub}}, {{tl|WideReceiver-stub}}, {{tl|Linebacker-stub}}, etc? [[User:Aecis|Aecis]] [[User_talk:Aecis|<sup>praatpaal</sup>]] 10:54, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

*******A quick google search suggests that there are about 100 articles in the stub category about quarterbacks. Even with a wide margin of error, this seems enough for a separate template/category. [[User:Aecis|Aecis]] [[User_talk:Aecis|<sup>praatpaal</sup>]] 19:55, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
********That one would seem to be the proverbial spike in the end-zone, then. I'll support splitting along these lines (indeed, I have a funny feeling I suggested this earlier...), with Aecis's names and titles if those each hit 60. The "grouped" split are a little painfully named, I'd prefer to avoid those if at all possible. 03:17, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
*******Agreed. Quarterback seems a good place to start, and Aecis's split names seem very reasonable. [[User:Grutness|Grutness]]...<font color=green><small>''[[User_talk:Grutness|wha?''</small></font>]] 05:03, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
