Not everything, of course, can be known, but the argument you are essentially making is that we should either ignore what is there to know and/or rely on what can't be known over what can be to inform our decision making.
And I bet you before the 1999 season I said very much different things. I was very optimistic about that team. That team and the additions they made going into the 1999 season was drastically different than what we're looking at with the current state of this Rams team. This is something that is not hard to know, so it's not hard to detect the false equivalence.
Maybe all bets are off for you. But the bet that the Rams will not be very good is most definitely on. It's not the way I'd want it, it's just the way it is, And that's even if McVay and Phillips do a great job. They are inheriting a horribly flawed roster, significantly worse than the '99 roster was, without any of the resources the 1999 team had available. An overnight fix is not at all probable. That's not to say it's impossible. It's not impossible, but it's highly probable that if you're focused on perceived scheduling advantages at this point, you're spending time on mere distractions.
