He's just better at it. Age, experience and coaching will do that for you.
I said this 3 years ago - your position is an unassailable one. If he had stayed awful, you could say you were right because he was awful. Had he become good, you could say he just needed 'a wakeup call'. In essence, you've just taken the position that no matter what happens, you were right.
Bullshit - Bernard Pollard could have been and should have been all those things in Kansas City but ***** is a goddamn moron and never gave him that chance.

The guy had been here for 3 years, had a history of being a lousy tackler and was only getting worse.
I wouldn't have given him another chance, either.
He's not the same play he was at all. I mean, he went from a guy who was a complete liability to a guy who didn't allow a single TD this year.
That's not even close.
Pioli ****ed up a lot of things but lots of GMs would have cut Bernard Pollard. He was basically the black Sabby Piscitelli.
