Hindsight is always 20-20, but I think the Jets will be satisfied with the player Faneca is. I remember the days when the Steelers were able to keep their longtime greats in place. I believe Alan is a steeler through and through, like Mean Joe, Blount, Kolb etc. He should have stayed a steeler. Good luck to Alan and mostly good luck to the steelers in finding replacements. That said, I look forward to seeing how the Tomlin era stands out as he hopefully will get the chance to stamp his personality on the new era steelers!!!!!
