He couldn't have replaced Boromir. If Faramir had joined, Boromir would not have been slain and Denethor might not have committed suicide. Boromir, because he was his favorite son, may have been able to talk his father out of it. Then it would have been a lot harder for Aragorn to take the throne. Boromir is also my favorite character and if JRRT put him in the fellowship, it was for a good reason. Note how all my favorite characters die.
