When Sean McVay was hired, most worried he was too young, inexperienced, and unproven.
When Brandon Staley replaced Wade Phillips, he had only been a linebackers coach and was considered too young, inexperienced, and unproven.
When the Rams traded for Stafford while McVay was retooling most of his coaching staff and the salary cap necessitated a large turnover in personnel, many worried the wheels were falling off.
Each time, Sean McVay had a plan. It wasn't apparent to outside observers what would happen. But after what has transpired his first four years, it may be time to give him the benefit of the doubt.
That's all kind of misleading though.
When McVay was hired, as good as he is, the inherited a stocked team and did not have to rebuild.
When Phillips was replaced it was one guy, with all the other coaches in place.
When Fassell was replaced they made the wrong hire and couldn't fix the kicker situation until into the season.
No one is worried the wheels are off. They are rightfully aware that that much substantial change will mean the team will not be where it could be by the end of the season. That doesn't have to be "worry"--odds are just in favor of that outcome. Because none of the changes you listed since McVay was hired included replacing 9 coaches, including the DC, while also fitting in a new qb under covid conditions.
The strongest LIKELY outcome is that they don't reach max potential in 2021 under those conditions.
If they avoid that well yay, but, there's no point in denying that that's the strongest likely outcome.
