A “start-up mentality.”

Fitterer said he wanted a 'start up' mentality.

Presumably this means that no position is safe and best player starts regardless of contract.

In theory this is great, but given how contracts work in the NFL is this practical? 

Will the GM write shorter year contracts in order to be able to make it more affordable to move on from players when they under perform?

How is this realistically carried out?

I think he basically means fresh thinking, outside the box and more of a purpose with the franchise and it's decisions for the future. Goal-oriented, that kind of thing.

It's just tech world buzzword poo. He just means doing something other than we have for the previous 25 seasons.

This. It's the new "think outside the box" after saying "think outside the box" was only said by people who couldn't do it.

The Seahawks work this way.

Hurney did things the old practical way.

See results.

Start up mentality is basically "group think" and disruptor mentality. Expect our approach to FA/Drafting be something the NFL hasn't seen before.

What are we going to do that has not been seen?  Draft a punter in Round 1?

Start up mentality the new slang for rebuild from the rebuild last year? 

Or are they going to make the office people work out of a garage? 

Just kidding. Kind of a dumb saying when referring to a billions dollar business but whatever. Would have been a lot more exciting and relevant if this was all done last year but it's here, again lol.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Jeremy Fowler draft intel on the Panthers: “Carolina was high on Proctor. If he somehow slipped to 19, he was a viable option.” “Caleb Lomu was on the Panthers short list too.” “Panthers weren’t totally comfortable with Stowers there at 49.”   https://x.com/panthersontap/status/2049827264972353727?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.

      It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
