That's a fair possibility, though I'm still not convinced it's not Josh and Jet. It's also true, though, that Avery was part of the solution for a finals run, as were Josh and Jet. All three of those people were doing great as major components of a team that worked very well, and all three were doing terribly as major components of a team that worked progressively more crappily. Avery's gone, and with Josh and Jet still on board, the team has so far not improved. I'm one to chalk it up to learning, and am looking forward to this team performing much better as the season goes on - but that's not objective.
