No matter how many times you attempt to promote him (oooh look, he had a goood game) - Ruiz is and will always be less than what we'd all hoped.

If that changes, you can fire up the crow. I'll bring a bib and won't leave the table until the bones are clean. But that 'aint often...

No doubt we all hope he turns out to be something special. But the NFL is made up of offensive linemen that are at best less than serviceable. And it appears that a solid percentage of those are currently on IR.

Oh, and I don't feel I promote Ruiz any more than any other Saints player. I simply share every article or interesting mention, just like with any other Saints player, NOT completely behind a paywall.

By the way exactly what was it that everybody realistically hoped Ruiz would be? My personal expectations were for him to be a solid starter for the next decade.
