Best at his position, yes, but even the best offensive guard in history cannot impact his team as much as a HOF quarterback. And the three defensive guys ranked right below Faneca literally changed the way the game of football was played.
I feel like Hines Ward belongs on this list because besides being a great player, he was pretty much the embodiment of the 2000-10 Steelers on offense, but who do you leave off. You could make the same argument for James Harrison, Aaron Smith, or even Cam Heyward for their eras, but I guess when you win two or zero championships respectively, the similar guys who won four take priority.
