Wow, evidently I don't know how to use a cpl. I went to the lake today to test with with the 200-500 and new B&W 95mm cpl. The bright sun was to my right. I took a lot of test shots with the filter on turning it a little each time, then I pulled it off and took several more photos in the same location. Every one of the photos I took with the filter on were blurry and all with the filter off were sharp.
These are 2 of the SOOCs. No more cpl filters for me!
The focus point is on the duck.

Were you handholding the camera? Does applying a polarizer make the viewfinder too dark for the camera-lens to focus properly? What was your working aperture and shutter speed? The filter is not the issue here.

Yes. 3rd party batteries can be good (Wasabi for example) or mediocre (Vivitar for example) Filters also. Hoya Pro1 filters are every bit as good as B+W, but also cost more than the low-end filters.
Agree.
