I'll never understand why some of you can't understand he's always sucked. Watch next year with Williams as QB and how we move the sticks, how the ball is distributed and use the whole field. Those less astute will attribute it to Coley maturing as a play caller, when in reality it's the guy pulling the trigger. Watch.
He must've fooled our coaches, because on and off the record they were geeked about Morris coming into 2013. They loved everything he was doing and truly felt they had one of the elite quarterbacks in the country. Something changed.
He was money in spring and threw dimes all over the spring game. But from the beginning of August camp, he struggled. You could see it on those Canes Camp highlights. All of the INTs were Morris and most of the big plays were Williams. Everything I heard out of Greentree was that Morris was playing horrible. There were people inside who, back in 2012, laughed at the Morris/Williams competition. Now they were wondering if Williams would end up playing.
Why did this happen? The Fisch factor is legit. There are some rumblings that Morris's personal relationships distracted him. Having to compensate for this horrendous defense gave him some bad habits. More than anything, I believe the off-season hype hurt him. Jacory had a similar regression, and only began playing better once he was humbled and got with Fisch. I thought Morris would be mature enough to handle that, but the evidence suggests he wasn't.
I still think the guy is the best we've had since Dorsey. But that's a low bar, and the fact that I have to argue it proves that he was a tremendous disappointment.
