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.

      My comments go back to what I would have done in 2023. That is really when everything veered off of what I thought was good and well. I wanted to keep Wilks, re-sign Darnold and Foreman, and trade down in the draft to take Torrance, Kincaid, Charbonnet, or Mims obviously depending on where they fell. Knowing what was coming the next draft class, that was the prudent thing to do.    I’d still take Warren over Tet, or even Matthew Golden over Tet. Bryce needs guys who get open because right now, no one on this roster creates separation forcing Bryce to be a pinpoint passer which is insane because he’s 5’9. Give me receiving options that create space.    they called him a Mini-Mahomes yet have done nothing similar to what the Chiefs have done to capitalize on those “traits”. It’s absurd. Give me a tight end who can back yard ball, a slasher at running back, a power back, and two 4.3 receivers with exceptional route running.    That’s how you build around what Bryce has done well.

      We should have traded down, taken Torrance, taken Charbonnet and Mims. Then gone defense. Re-signed Foreman and Darnold. If we sucked again, then you get a shot at Daniels, Maye, Williams, or Nix. You get to keep DJ Moore and stack a core of talent.

      What is it that Cam is supposed to do differently? He is a running back. Dart will learn to slide, and eventually he won’t be playing with PS elevation receivers so he won’t have to run nearly as much.
