Vladar was not red hot, he got lucky that the team bailed him out of some very meh performances.
Did we win those games because of Vladar's play or the play in front of him? He did not play well last season so saying that we won in games he played due to others isn't really that relevant.
There is no reason to think that playing a mediocre (at best) Vladar would have resulted in us winning games when he wasn't a reason we won the games he did play.
