So Alan Faneca retired yesterday. It’s easy to agree with Ed Bouchette when he writes that (http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/11131/1145569-66.stm) Faneca was the “the greatest guard in Steelers history.”

But despite Faneca’s place in Steelers history — and ultimately, the Hall of Fame — the organization was right to let him walk after the 2007 season. I figured everybody agreed on that. If not then, certainly later after it became clear Faneca wasn’t nearly the player he once was.

Nope........

His best days were CLEARLY behind him, especially in pass protection. We beat this topic to death at the time, and I see no reason to think anything has changed since then...
