Civil War if Boromir survived?

[Nimrodel_9]

Say Faramir was sent to Rivendell and Boromir stayed in Gondor.

Let`s go back to that. (correct me if I`m wrong.) In TTT EE, Peter Jackson put in a scene where Denethor said that Elrond had called for a council and that Boromir must go to it. This did not happen in the book. Boromir had been wandering in the wild for many days, and after losing his horse, he stumbled upon Rivendell. After hearing there was going to be a council, he stayed to represent Gondor, and the race of Men. Anyway, say it was Faramir that came to Rivendell.
I believe that (even if he did see the ring) he would have been able to resist its power longer. As Tuor of Gondolin said, he was "a wizards pupil". In my view I believe that Faramir was more wise than Boromir, and thus would most likely understand the power of the ring better. Also he was friends with Gandalf and would probably be more on his side than Boromir was. Seeing that Gandalf wanted Frodo to be the only one to have the ring, and that no one else could carry it, he would have focused more on the protection of Frodo. Not on taking the ring, and giving it to his father, no matter how much he wanted his respect. I would think that he would rather have the respect of Gandalf. Did any of that make sense?
