Is Calais Campbell Worth of Cardinals Ring of Honor?

[Mitch]

Do you think Calais Campbell deserves to be inducted into the Cardinals' Ring of Honor?

Is being a 2 time 2nd team All-Pro enough?

[Lagerfilled]

Um... no!

 

[az jam]

Yes

 

[Goldfield]

Love him but don't think so

 

[bg7brd]

No, but if he would have played his entire career here...yes

 

[Buckybird]

Absofreakinglutely!!!

The best all around game Big Red Dlineman in AZ history! If Swann could've played as long as a many games it would've been him, the guy when healthy was a force almost on par with Reggie White.

If I'm a betting man, Tree man will one day see his name in the rafters. He played hard, rarely missed games, played well, was great in the community, well respected & loved by the fans, teammates, coaches & ownership!!! He's going to be hugely missed in 2017

 

[Snakester]

If he would have stayed for one more contract and done well I'd say yes. One of the better linemen that I have seen play for us and a real likeable guy.

 

[Krangodnzr]

I think ring of honor goes to guys who are either iconic or led this team to a Super Bowl.

Calais falls short.

 

[Finito]

No a very good player but not a great player.

 

[Shane]

the guy when healthy was a force almost on par with Reggie White.

Ok now your just being ridiculous

 

[Bodha]

I feel very strongly that your knee jerk reaction tells the truth.


And my knee jerk response is no.


The ROH should be reserved for HOFrs only. *And yes, Adrian Wilson should be a HOFr. He has a statistically better career than Troy Polamalu and comparative to Ed Reed (less picks).

 

[WildBB]

He was a great soldier....maybe. On and off the field a real solid Cardinal. It wouldn't happen right away. Maybe in some years after he retires.

 

[Brian in Mesa]

Had he stuck around longer - maybe.

 

[JeffGollin]

Who's in the ROH?

What qualities set them apart?

Does Calais have those qualities?

 

[vince56]

Ridiculous topic. We don't have a ring of "pretty good."

 

[kerouac9]

Probably. How many years was he a captain? 4 or 5? If Dockett is in the RoH, Campbell deserves to be. He's one of the 10 best Cardinals of all time.

 

[CardLogic]

Ok now your just being ridiculous

I believe Bucky is referring to Eric Swann; not Calais Campbell.

Dockett is not, and in my estimate will not be, in the Ring.

Oh, and Campbell falls short also.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Id put him in ahead of Dockett

.

Shane can't think right & understand because his head is still spinning about the talk of Quan putting on Cardinals red again...or he might be drunk...or maybe both lol

 

[Ohcrap75]

100 percent YES!!

 

[Harry]

No a very good player but not a great player.

This

 

[Yuma]

He's one of the all time sack leaders, yes!

 

[Brak]

I'd vote yes.

Interesting take that it should be for HOF'ers only. That would certainly settle who gets on and who doesn't. But I don't like setting the bar THAT high.

 

[TRW]

I'd say no. For most of the reasons in the thread. Real good but not great player, good guy, etc., etc. But not in the ROH caliber.

 

[Billy Bob]

Only if he comes back at the end of his career and retires a Cardinal would I consider it.
