Alan Faneca completes 13th season, unsure about future

Re: Alan Faneca completes 13th season, unsure about future

Ben comments were taken completely out of context. He was asked about the situation, with Faneca being a veteran, not about Ben specifically.

Has Ben ever done anything wrong? Is he a saint, not of New Orleans?

Um, stupid. The topic is FANECA's comments on Ben/rookie QBs in 2004.

You have never said anything remotely negative about Ben. I love the guy and only want him as our QB. I also feel we have been extremely lucky to have someone like Ben as our QB, because he is the definition of tough Steelers football. However, you constantly drool over the guy, defending him no matter what has been done, even when he admits he was wrong, you in turn defend him. It's quite disturbing. He should be scared of you.

I have bashed Ben a helluva lot more than the Ward-ites have ever bashed their hero and Ward's been here twice as long.

Ward basically called out Troy today and said he needs to play Sunday.

Where's the thread on it?

If I read it, I would post it and bash Ward.

just curious, where did you read or hear that? I looked for it but couldn't find it anywhere...

Troy has already stated he wants to play, the decision on whether or not he does lies solely with the medical staff and Mike Tomlin at this point.

Can't find anything on Hines calling out Troy, not even close.

Re: Alan Faneca completes 13th season, unsure about future

Funny, I root for the greatest team in the NFL and some of the best players ever to strap it up for my team. I RARELY bash a player. they have to be pretty bad for me to do that. I critisize them, but I don't call that bashing. Sucks to be you crash. to hate so many players on your favorite team. must suck man.

You should say that to Ward. He's only happy when he makes everyone else miserable.

Crash! Where's this quote of Hines calling out Troy?

I think he's referring to this:

I don't know that it's exactly "Hines calling out Troy". Sounds like Troy wants to play Sunday, and that Hines acknowledged that. But it's Tomlin's decision.

Re: Alan Faneca completes 13th season, unsure about future

"We need him," Hines Ward said. "You got plenty of time to rest. We win this game, you can rest all next week. He doesn't have to practice until the following Friday, for all we care

That's calling him out.

I also love how its always "we".

Hines should be a man and admit its how HE thinks.

"We need him," Hines Ward said. "You got plenty of time to rest. We win this game, you can rest all next week. He doesn't have to practice until the following Friday, for all we care

That's calling him out.

In the article, Bouchette quotes Hines as saying, "He's going to try to go, I think." If Ward is calling anybody out, it's Tomlin, who will make the decision.

Hardly because unlike Hines I understand team concepts and loyalty.

You do? You've never played ANY team sports yet understad team concepts?

You've never held a job and have stated you don't want to look despite saying you "could work if you wanted to," yet you understand loyalty? What are you loyal to? Government checks? Your dog? Your right hand? Your toilet paper brand?

Bashing Ward IS his job. He's always on call too.
