How good was Morris's season, overall? Was he head and shoulders above other QB's we've had? It seems pretty obvious to most that he was injured in the second half of the year, which raises questions as to why we didn't bench him instead of cutting our playbook to exclude downfield throws.
Here's a look at 4 seasons of QB play since 2018

I keep some information about QB's handy to create my own rating system, sometimes I tweak it here and there. All of these seasons are within 4 points of each other on a scale of 0-140. Morris, had two of the highest rated NT QB games i've seen (South Alabama and Tulsa), but also had some real stinkers(Texas Tech and Army).
We've actually had 3 consecutive years of very productive QB play (despite the general dislike for Aune). For reference, if you tease out Mestemaker's bowl start to a full season, it comes in just below these seasons, based on my rating system.
I put all this up to highlight that Morris was very good here, but he wasn't stellar like we thought he would be after 8 games. I think Eric Morris can shape anything into a reliable QB at this point, next season is going to come down to:
-Can we find a defense that can make stops?
-Can Eric Morris (the OC) help out Eric Morris (the HC) by putting the rest of the team in better situations (game management, field position, roster decisions... etc.)?
Jarod is nice. But he needs to kick some students in the backsides to get them to come to games!
We had nice Sissoko playing basketball for awhile and he wasn't effective.
Now we have focused, intense Sissoko playing basketball, making slams and taking names!
