DABEARSDABOMB Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 Just a total bummer. Urlacher had the better peak in the recent Bears era but Tillman was my favorite Bear of the last 10+ years and one of my favorite Bears all time. He was both a stud on the football field and a person who did a lot of good off the football field. For his season and potentially career to end this way stinks but I want to thank him for all of the fantastic memories and the fact that he represented our franchise so proudly both on and off the field. Thank you Peanut and Get Better!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madlithuanian Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 If this is Peanut's swan song for us...I venture to say ALL of us are going to miss him. ALL of us love him. ALL of us are thankful for having seen him play his heart out as a Bear. ALL of us respect him for his kindness and generosity off the field. ALL of us admire how professional and personable he is. Thank you Peanut. I hope this isn't it, but I fear it is. You are in the pantheon of great Bears. You deserve to be in the Hall. Just a total bummer.

Connorbear Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 I am heartbroken. Thank you, Peanut, for everything you have done for the organization. Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TerraTor Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 That's a shame. What the hell did he do that Crabtree for anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawhizz Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 The only Bear autograph I have is from Peanut from camp a couple years ago - always been a class act and great player. Would love it if we could find a spot in the organization for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrackerDog Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 Peanut, you'll forever be one of my favorite Bears. I wish you all the best in whatever it is your future holds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 I know it is a long shot, but I would love to see him come back next year, even if it was in a backup role. He has truly been a delight to watch and has been one of my favorite Bears ever. He will be missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawhizz Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Is there a zone type corner on market? Champ Bailey? He doesn't have the speed anymore, but neither fid Tillman and zone probably suits him more st this point in his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongo3451 Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Champ Bailey? He doesn't have the speed anymore, but neither fid Tillman and zone probably suits him more st this point in his career. I wonder how Champ would do in nickel. He definitely would not supplant Fuller or Jennings at this point. He is a seasoned winner though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ54 Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Not the ideal way to see Peanut's season end. He has always been a class act even back in the early days when fans were always complaining about him being too slow. It seem logical to see Hayden return as he played the nickel spot in the preseason and that is where we need help right now. Behind him it will be the best of the guys on our practice squad: Isaiah Frey, Al Louis-Jean, or Terrance Mitchell. However, this is likely to be a permanent roster spot so that opens it up to Emery grabbing someone they like from another team's practice squad.

Daventry Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 I sure will miss Peanut if he can't come back....a true Bear. Thanks for the good years Peanut, you kicked some good a$$ for the Bears! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
