Unless they started stabilizing Patriots, I would say they are far from the "stable workhorse" you're talking about

The patriots i throw are the icon hot pinks, thrown flat they turn slow and always come back with a soft fade. They hold anny lines for a long time and will hyzer flip to flat reliably and predictably.. i use it whenever i can.
Sometimes i find it hard to decide between my rival and the patriot, wish the rival was a touch more stable.

Mine are US. Flippy. Great anny turn machines with a little more distance than my inspires.

If you can find some of the FAF gummy 168 Ivory FRs, they don't have any turn. I was considering dropping TeeBirds in favor of them, but they aren't the easiest to find and are pricey when you do.
I just got my first hot pink, and it's gorgeous. I've been throwing whites, but I may just have to bench them and start working on the pinky.

Not trying to be a smart alleck, but how do you define "stable"?
The reason I ask is that some people may classify a stable disc as one that can be flatten from a hyzer and "locks" into a straight path for the most of the flight. Stable doesn't have to be a disc that stays "stable" if thrown flat.
At the very least the Patriot resembles a "stable workhorse" if the "flatten-to-hyzer" portion is taken into the defintion of "stable".

I've been using Patriots as a LHBH workhorse for the most part. I find them to get unpredictable in stronger winds, but they are great outside of that. I particularly love them in the woods in low ceiling situations.

I hear ya! The Patriot is legit!
They are replacing my CE QJs, something that I didn't think was possible.

^^ good to hear... like that bag setup too .. looks legit 
Really depends on the plastics honestly. I only throw first run icons and they are really similar to a star teebird. However my ivory first run pinnacle is similar to a nice stable teebird with no turn. So the eagle may be a better option if you want extra fade with minimal turn.

I'm gong to lead the brigade: Make some damn Protege Patriots! Patriots feel way more comfortable in the hand than Leopards but my Icon is taking forever to get really flippy. They could wipe out the Pro Leopard with a Protege Patriot.

I'll sign the petition. Hopefully they'll bring them out quicker than the Protege Ghosts...

yupp i throw them at that weight... i have some as low as 164.. if you cant find them try the legacy collector facebook page
I just got my first Patriot today. When you refer to the ones that you got as gummy do you mean that they are flexible or grippy? The Pinnacle Patriot that I got is fairly stiff but, unlike the rival I have, it is this gloriously grippy version of pinnacle plastic. Threw it a few times and it is going straight in the bag. Very impressed with it so far.
