Happy Trails Ronde Barber

[Jutt]

If you were to ask all the QBs that he faced on multiple occasions, they'd tell you different.

nikkas think of CB and automatically think of Prime, thats the problem. Ronde was dangerous. You ilterally had to account for where he was on the field at all times. Dude even lines up at LB and could blitz or drop back in coverage.

Dude's IQ was off the charts. The Lewis of corners, in that regard. He'll make for a GREAT secondary coach one day.

His IQ is what made him the player he was, he doesnt have elite size or speed, just wit. I hope we bring him in as a coach this year to help out the young guys.

That's my CB

Definitely a HoF guy. No player in NFL history has started more consecutive games at cornerback than Barber.

dont make him a hof

He'll get in the Hall of Fame, but maybe not on his first try. I made this thread some time ago and I was undecided but now im sure he'll get in. The Bucs will have every level of their D repped with Sapp Brooks and Barber eventually being inducted. I remember hating playing my boy in Madden when he picked them cuz tha defense was just to damn to score on.

how you losing games when you holding the other team to 9 points!!

different era. look at the stats. that team threw for like 9 passing TDs and lost a game 0-3

thats why its so hard to gauge NFL stats from a while back...

All time, if you were trying to run a Cover 2/Tampa 2 scheme, Ronde is your nickel corner at worst. The nikka was amazing
