There were many initial questions about Mike Vrabel's decision to bring back Josh McDaniels as the Patriots' offensive coordinator this offseason, mostly about how he would pair with Drake Maye, since he hadn't been very successful with quarterbacks other than Tom Brady.
Despite that, he has helped elevate the 23-year-old to the most impressive second-year jump seen in recent memory, if ever, and McDaniels has given a lot of credit for that from his time away from the NFL after being fired by the Raiders.
His intellect in working with a player like Maye has put the Patriots in a position to compete in the playoffs, with some of his recent play-calling reminiscent of some of the most successful years in New England's dynasty.
