The biggest issue with this theory is there haven't been any high impact players drafted in the last 2 seasons so you're basically starting from ground zero two full seasons after tearing it all down. If they had drafted a few high impact players and there were units that still sucked, that's understandable. But this team doesn't have any positional units that one could call a strength.
You have a nearly completely rebuilt secondary that can't stay on the field (likely will need to draft another safety next year). The two DTs are rotational pieces but so far haven't flashed anything to think they can be star worthy contributors at some point. The DEs are a disaster. The two big money linebackers they've signed have largely been MIA.
Then you turn to the offense and the best drafted player by Poles is a 5th round LT now dealing with a neck injury. Your best offensive lineman can't stay on the field (Jenkins). Kmet has looked like 'just a guy' so far after signing a big extension. The running back spot has been flashes of positive but mostly discouraging (especially coming off last season's success). QB obviously has been a disaster.
This team isn't winning anything until they start getting some high impact contributors on both sides of the ball. Poles has shown nothing so far from the drafting, scouting and free agency aspect to even deserve a 3rd season. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't even consider making a GM move until after year 3 was completed to see the progress/trajectory but they've been so bad in the opposite direction that I have no faith in him to make two first round picks next offseason.
