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.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
