Is Faneca too old?

dtebbe · 12-20-2007, 10:18 PM

No way the Steelers are going to pay Faneca market price, so he's going to be available. We need to plug some guys in who can play now, and then try to get some young guys in the draft. The question is, is 30 old for a G in the NFL?

Absolultely. Positively. Yes.

bowener · 12-20-2007, 10:47 PM

really?

Simplex3 · 12-20-2007, 10:48 PM

Without a doubt. The Chiefs shouldn't even bother looking at anyone over 26.

If he signed a relatively cheap and short contract (no more than 2 years, no fat-ass SB) I'd take him. But he isn't.

Even then he'd be taking up a spot on the field. Just say no.

One thing is for sure, they wont be able to draft a whole new Oline this year, so some new FA's will have to be signed. That said, Faneca would fill in nicely for the short term and who knows maybe even longer.

ChiefFan31 · 12-20-2007, 11:33 PM

He is too old for our current situation. If we were the good ole 'one player away' from a Super Bowl run, then yeah...sign the guy. He is damn good.

But he is no good for us right now.

**DaneMcCloud** · 12-20-2007, 11:34 PM

No.

He'll be 32 next season. And if you ask any Steelers fans, they'll tell you that his play has dropped off, regardless of the Pro Bowl award this year

So your suggesting even if a "Willie Roaf" was available that they should just pass on him since he is over 30. I believe that allowing Brodie Croye to develop from the vertical position is far more benficial to building this team.

No, I suggested that Faneca is too old for us to sign him in our current situation.

My understanding in our current situation is that Brodie Croyle and the offense needs to develop. You cant have a team develop with no veterans what-so-ever.
