A team could look at Gerald McCoy as a blueprint. McCoy's started to decline a bit over the last year or so but the 4-3 has kept him pretty productive as it's kept him from being a constant double.
I agree with you there; Poe, if he's going to be a true impact player, is going to have to be in a 4-3. Then again, it's damn near impossible to be a true impact player as a 3-4 NT anyway. That's what made Poe's 2014 season so incredible. The guy was a monster DESPITE a system that didn't set him up to disrupt.
I just don't think we'll see that again. We'd be better served allocating money elsewhere and finding a 'conventional' 3-4 NT that is more of a space filler. I hate it, but the back injury is what it is. The memory of Dontari Poe is more imposing than the production anymore.
