#91 Earth WAKE Should he be in the Dolphins Ring of Honor?

[Gsmack_42]

Gotta vote no. If the bar is Jason Taylor and Zach Thomas, Wake misses out just barley.

If that’s the bar he would be in the HOF. And I doubt he’d care about the ring of honor.

What criteria makes someone ROH worthy?

 

[Travis34]

Absolutely

 

[Mark_J]

Not even a second thought about it.

 

[BROGS]

Yes.

 

[eMCee85]

I voted yes.

 

[JamesWsenior]

I voted no. And I like Cam a lot. Or is it a lot?

 

[SQuinn17]

Yes, but he's not an immediate add. He's 2nd on the all time sack list for us and made 5 pro bowls.

From Undrafted to Unstoppable: Why Cameron Wake Belongs in the Dolphins' Ring of Honor - Miami Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins should put Cameron Wake in their Ring of Honor. The time is right for Miami to honor their superstar player.

Was he THAT good or was he just the best we had for a period of there being little to no other standout talent on the team? I can go either way on this. The guy was a force.

 

[The Goat]

He might be the hardest-working Dolphin ever. I will never forget him coming back from the torn achilles at age 34. I thought he was done, and then he ripped off 22 sacks in 2 years at age 34-35.

I just want to know who the 8 that voted no are...

 

[Rayj2384]

This is a difficult one for me. On one hand he's the only Dolphin worthy of the honor in like the last 15 years (since Zach and JT). On the other hand his numbers and career is comparable to Elvis Dumervil who probably would not be considered Ring of Honor worthy.

I get the comp but dumervil was 22-33 in the league. Cam's numbers came from 27-37 after the CFL, tore his Achilles at 33 and came back to make the pro bowl the following year. Dude was a warrior for the fins and probably one of the fittest guys in the NFL ever at 6'3 265

I'll never forget that safety

That’s not the bar. Those guys are Hall of Fame players. That’s not what the ring of fame players represent. Wake definitely belongs in the ring of fame. He is the best pure pass rusher that’s ever played for the Dolphins organization.

Forget about his career numbers. The ring of fame should be based on how he performed for the Dolphins organization and by any measure, he was great while playing in Miami. His career numbers don’t look great because he got such a late start in the NFL.
