StePhen Holder on Ronde

[Hate]

‎@HolderStephen:
Can't ignore scene outside #Bucs locker rm here in ATL where the Barber family - wife, Ronde's parents, kids - were assembled, taking photos

@HolderStephen:
There really seemed to be a sense of finality to it. I've never seen that before from them.

If you cant be happy about the W for any other reason at least be happy Ronde Barber's last game was a victory.

[Boid Fink]

My current fave Buc is sailing off into his sunset. Feeling a little sad. Gonna miss DB20.

[TheChronicHotAir]

yuck, not good

Hall of Fame is next stop for him.

[Morgan]

good time to call it a career Ronde - you've got your health, you've got your brain cells....move on

[Boid Fink]

HOF lock!

[PewterBlitz]

Really sad the last remaining member of that legendary defense might be calling it quits finally. Glad he is going out with a W if this is truly his last game.

[Bucfest]

I think it's best for him to leave with his health. He's already first time HOFer lock. But it will sure be wierd not seeing him on the field after all these years. Some may not agree best he has been our best defensive player the past few years.

For the record, Ronde says he has not made a decision, and I believe him. But it's also not his decision alone, if you know what i mean

[NovaBuc]

Will be sad to see him go. We were definitely spoiled for a while with the great players on D in the late 90s/early 00s. Sapp, Lynch, Brooks, Barber, Rice... Quarles, Nickerson and when healthy, Kelly. Thanks for the memories Ronde.. hope to see you back as a DB coach.

[MUSCLE_HAMSTER]

My favorite Buc ever. As far as I'm concerned, he can play as long he likes. And I would love to see him get a job in the organization or coaching staff.

[NotDeadYet]

   Would love to see him come in as a DB coach, even just an assistant DB coach, if he does retire. I expect the losing this year was eating at him, as it had to have done last year. This W should have swept away that deja vu feeling for him AND his family...

[Blaze688]

I don't know if Ronde can take another year of Schiano's offseason conditioning.  From what I understand, Greg spares no man from his ridiculous training camp regiment... which isn't necessarily a bad thing, unless you're a 37-year-old corner.

Just so consistently good. Amazing. Thanks #20. HOF first ballot. Please stay part of the organization.

Love Ronde, will be sad to see him go if he's really done, and will argue his HOF candidacy to anyone who says no to him.  But no chance is he a first-ballot guy.
