But then I watched him at the open practice at the start of fall camp and, trust me, he's got an arm.


Practice means nothing. Wasn't there talk about Phillip Sims looking much more impressive in practice than A.J. a few years ago? I trust game film more and I don't really see anything that shows me that he's good enough to be a future starter in the SEC. He's certainly not a three-year starter like some people think he will be. I would rather take my chances with Cooper Bateman starting as a true sophomore in 2014.

I wasn't very high on AJ after watching the Army AA game until I watched him on Fan Day his freshman year. It was obvious to me that he had an elite arm and great touch. He was making extremely high level throws in 7 on 7s. I saw similar talent level from Morris at Fan Day last year. I'm not predicting he'll be as good as AJ because I don't know about things like decision making, field vision, etc...but I do know that he has the arm to be an SEC QB.

Not by me. Some people fell in love with PS's star rating and convinced themselves that PS looked better in practice.

So, after watching game film, what qualities did you conclude that Morris is lacking?
I will say that after watching his film it looked to me like he didn't have much zip on it due to pushing the ball. After seeing him in person, I no longer have that concern.

I think it's going to be a very good battle between Morris and Cooper in '14. I could see it going either way.
