Well I'm kind of glad to see the faint praise. He can't be that happy. They have like a 48% pressure rate if I'm recalling accurately what I read somewhere yesterday.
That said, I also believe him when he says they have confidence in the group including Demby. He must possess the qualities he's looking for or else they would have acquired a backup vet. I don't believe we're at freakout status where we can credibly say that Demby will get Goff killed.
Yes, it's possible or even likely that Kromer regards the OL as a work in progress and therefore is more patient with their development than we are. Here's some more Kromer:

"in pass protection, everything is a work in progress, it’s early in the season, we have the upmost confidence in this group, they are great guys....When you have something like that, you can grow. Our goal is to be at our peak at the end of the season.”
"Joe Noteboom, as a guy that was always a tackle his whole life, and then he goes in and plays left guard in live action. Just to see him blossom over the last couple games and how his confidence has built stronger and stronger, I think it’s going to bode well as time goes.”
“You evaluate every play individually, but these guys are two of the top tackles in the league. Sometimes things don’t always work out at football. I say that every day. There’s pluses, there’s minuses. You make some blocks, you don’t make some blocks. The key is that they continue to be aggressive."
