Much has been made about the New England Patriots' offensive play-calling situation heading into the 2022 NFL season. With Josh McDaniels out of the picture, the team has leaned on a combination of Matt Patricia and Joe Judge to handle the offensive duties.

But does a simplified offense really help Mac Jones and the Patriots if the second-year quarterback lacks a consistent play-caller? After all, the Pats offense hasn't looked all that sharp throughout training camp.
