Peanut Tillman says torn ACL was worth it

Just came across this article. Goes in depth of Tillman's love for the team, and how he found the positive in tearing that ACL. Love how he says he'd "do it again." Shows how our team culture is just the best. Can't wait to see him in pre game segments. 

Quote

“I was willing to tear my ACL for those guys,” Tillman said. “When you have a special team, when you’re in a room with 53 men who are very close and think the world of each other, that’s what you do. That’s the kind of culture that was set. I know I was only there one year, but within that year I believed in that culture. 


“If I could go back and do it again, I’d do the same thing again. I’d play on a partially torn ACL. I knew the cost and possibility of it tearing. I’d easily do it again to go to the Super Bowl.

...

“Charlotte showed me so much love. Carolina showed me so much love,” Tillman said. “It’s not forgotten. I know I’m not getting a statue like Thomas Davis, but Carolina showed me some love and I’m so grateful for them taking a chance on me.

now that he's with Fox, we're going to be getting some real love. 

Will this be the first pro-Panther commentator on a major network

He'd be the second. Steve Beuerlein commentates on CBS, but since we rarely play there he almost never is able to do it with us. Last time was I think the Raiders game in 2012.

Steve was salty af in the games I watched him call.  He was not very Pro-Panther.

I'm not going to say you are wrong, but that would surprise me. He retired with the team and during the Super Bowl this year that he was rooting for us; his "heart is with Carolina".

Its been a few years, he didnt like Cam or the direction of the team, but if you say hes on board now then welcome back Steve.  I didnt like having a reason to not like him.

    • No the PSL contract, gives you the right to 1. buy the seat(s) season tickets and preseason        Note. playoff tickets are not included as those prices are set by the league, not the team   You have the but them 2 for a set  amount 3 for a length of time (4, 6, 8 years) 4. At a guaranteed set price and guaranteed escalator for the term. The longer  term, the lower the escalator example 4 years at $3500 per year with no higher than 4% price increase  or  8 years at $3500 per year at 2% escalator  for many years, they were worth it if you are a fan of the game and big time players i saw everyone from Steve Young to Brady To Rodgers, to Patrick Mahomes live…just to see true greatness, regardless of position is a great experience…you see the whole Field…the game within the game and the sidelines tell a lot of tales too….  binoculars too help…even though i was close, watching the choreography of a really great offensive line, impressive  you feel and see the game so much differently than TV  …and, to watch Cam, Luke, Thomas…very much worth  it until Tepper, i had no regrets.other than not unloading them when he bought the team  
    • It could work, but you have to work exponentially harder than with a prototypical type with a deep ball. That was my thing, why pay extra to make it harder on yourself? 
    • It is just a hype video. I feel the same way. The video was fun but it is just team propaganda.
