Thank you Charles Tillman

[Seltzer]

Played really well this year, great mentor for the rest of the defensive backs, and showed a lot of heart and toughness playing these last few weeks with a partially torn ACL and knowing it was probable it would eventually tear all the way.  Hope we can win a Super Bowl for you.

peanut will have earned a ring as much as anyone if we get that far.

Not too worried about it. We are still relatively healthy. Our defensive ends need to STEP UP! It's do or die.

Thanks for your hard work and contribution, Peanut. Glad you're a Panther and no longer a Bear. Geez, did I not like you then.

The DEs, for the most part, have played very well this year.... just not the highest paid starter.

Posted this in the "Today's tweets" thread before news of the ACL tear was confirmed, but it deserves a re-post here.

I fear that Peanut may be lost for the playoffs, but even if he is, he has been invaluable as a Panther this season.  What he's done to instill a constant focus on opportunities to take away the ball.... and his mentoring of our young guys.  It shows.  Not to mention his very solid play on the field.   Love ya Peanut.  Such class.  Thrilled you are a Panther this season.  Keep Pounding.

Peanut has been a huge part of why we're 15-1.  LOVE this guy.  Even if his career as a player might be over, would just love it if he would coach here:

Losing a vet will hopefully continue to motivate this squad.

His presence will still be felt on the field. Watching the other dbs, you know the few healthy ones we have left, you can see that Tillman's experience has rubbed off. I've seen Norman effectively use the Peanut Punch several times this year.

I could see him being DBs coach for us if McD gets hired somewhere and we promote Wilks to coordinator which would be the most likely replacement for McD.

So sad, but so glad he was a part of this team. Although he has only played for us for one year I've always been a huge fan of him. 

[KendrickPanther]

Love what Charles did early in this season. Having him play for us has brought a new level of respect for his game. It's tough to see great NFL players break down.

WE HAVE TO WIN NOW! For the whole team. I am tired of this whole injury poo.

[Carolina Cajun]

I can't say enough how much this bums me out.  I was a freshman at UL in 2002, and he and Fred Stamps were what made me a die hard Cajun fan.  He was such a BEAST back in college, he almost single handedly won a game against Arkansas with a forced fumble and 2 blocked punts.  I personally stood in the pouring down rain and watched him play in college against UAB, which was the game that really made me a Cajuns fan (34-0, and a drunk student slip and slided down the 50 yard line during one of the torrential downpours).  Seriously, he was my connection between my alma mater and my pro team this year, so it was really depressing to see the injury.  Keep Pounding peanut, hopefully we can get you the ring that you deserve!

Nice story and tribute.  Thanks.  I hope the team can win a ring for him and for themselves!  Keep Pounding!

[Mr. Scot]

Big props to Tillman for his work this season and his character all the time.
