He doesn't get total disrespect. He's not a reliable starting option because he gets hurt way too often. He's a good backup to have at the correct price now. You are just sensitive about the subject whenever someone points out that truth. I admire the defense of him, but Noteboom needs to remain a backup that makes spot starts, that's his strength.
I'm with you there. McVay has decided to build a legit line for our offense which should garner us more points with young and improved young rookies like Nacua, Avila, and Kyren returning. Throw in that I truly believe Kupp will show that he was simply unhealthy last year and we have a lethal offense. Also in the Rams defense I'll say this about the defense, we have no idea on the improvement that will be shown by the young studs that we got last year in Turner and Young. If those 2 step up, that'll help settle some nerves about the absence of AD. Remember, Turner tied AD's rookie sack totals. With that said, I hope we get Latu or Verse to add to our D line, that would make them much better.I will just say that I love the direction they are taking on offense now. If we get a whole season out of our main players on offense we are going to set some records I think. Dotson and Avila completely changed our offense for the better last season. Then we double down and add another one of them to the interior. I will be praying to every injury god there is to please give us a whole season with this offense. It's going to be magical.
Holy crap on that other thread... I missed the end of that party.
Fair enough,but if The Rams don’t resign Alaric Jackson . Guess what ,as Les Snead use to always say.
That may or may not be the truth. I remember Rodger "Glass Shoulder" Saffold. His first 6 years he missed 28 games. Noteboom's first 6 years he missed 32 games. The difference being RS was a rookie starter and Noteboom wasn't. Rodger flicked off the injury bug to be a reliable OL. Maybe Noteboom never does. Or maybe he does. Or maybe he does for another team.
I hope he shakes the injury bug, but he's been given his chance. Those windows for starting in the NFL will vary and if a player shows to be unreliable, most coaches would replace them. Unfortunately, Noteboom has consistently proven beyond a doubt that he's an injury waiting to happen. Now that he took a pay cut, it's definitely more appropriate for him to be on our roster as he's a good backup to have. He got paid starter money which he shouldn't have ever gotten but that's water under the bridge now.
