i'll be the brutally honest one who says:

1. I hope we never get "randomly" assigned as your alliance partner.
2. We probably would never pick you as a partner in the eliminations.

Every match your partners are relying on you to do your very best, doing anything less is a disservice to them. Keeping a consistent driver is absolutely essential to good performance -- each match that goes by the driver will improve exponentially.

I love how if someone talks about intentionally "throwing a match" by not doing their best, the entire community flips out... but if someone talks about changing out their drivers...
