Miami senior QB Stephen Morris has accepted an invitation to play in the East-West Shrine Game.
It seems like the six Senior Bowl quarterbacks will be A.J. McCarron, Derek Carr, Logan Thomas, Jimmy Garoppolo, Tajh Boyd, and David Fales. Morris has tons of talent and throws one of the best vertical passes in the country, but he struggles with decision making and consistency. Dec 5 - 3:47 PM

Miami senior QB Stephen Morris completed 17 of 28 attempts for 296 yards and three touchdowns in the school's 41-31 win over Pittsburgh.

Morris displayed one deep ball that was on a rope, which is easily his best throw. If only the rest of his targets to the short and intermediate levels were as consistent. He still holds the "potential" tag in terms of an evaluation.

Miami senior QB Stephen Morris completed 13 of 26 attempts for 214 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in the school's 45-26 win over Virginia.

Morris' interception came on a downfield route after trying to fit a pass between a dropping linebacker and closing safety. We love Morris' vertical shots, but he hasn't developed this season or put forth one consistent performance.

Stephen Morris - QB - Hurricanes

Miami senior QB Stephen Morris completed 16-of-28 attempts for 192 passing yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in the Hurricanes' 41-14 loss against Florida State on Saturday.

Morris continues to confound scouts and fans unlike with his uneven play. Morris hooked up with senior playmaker Allen Hurns on a pair of impressive touchdown throws, but his other 26 attempts vacillated from "ugly" to "acceptable." The senior at times displays breathtaking touch on bucket throws, and at other times attempts breathtakingly reckless passes that hit the chests of defenders. If Morris falls to the middle rounds in May's draft, he's going to make for a fascinating lottery ticket.

NFL.com's Albert Breer writes that Miami senior QB Stephen Morris' "lackluster effort" in the Hurricanes' past two games have "raised serious questions about his accuracy."

"Even with Miami unbeaten, Morris hasn't quite lived up to expectations," wrote Breer. Morris completed just 17 of 28 attempts for 191 yards and a touchdown in the Hurricanes' 24-21 win over Wake Forest last week, prompting more criticism from evaluators. Breer writes that some organizations now view Morris as a "mid-round-type."

Miami senior QB Stephen Morris completed 17 of 28 attempts for 191 yards and a touchdown in the Hurricanes 24-21 win over Wake Forest.

Morris has been inconsistent this season, but a turonver-less game could get him back on track. The senior's touchdown pass early in this game was a thing of beauty, hitting a vertical bucket throw in single coverage. That is easily Morris' best area of the field.

NFL.com's Daniel Jeremiah spoke with one NFL executive who believes Miami senior QB Stephen Morris has some of the most impressive intangibles in this year's draft class.

"He's the face of the program," the executive said. "He is very bright. He already has his degree. He's a big-time leader. He's not a great player, but I wouldn't bet against him because of his intangibles." The last point is important, as Morris has shown very little consistency this season despite having plenty of talent.

Miami senior QB Stephen Morris completed 19-of-35 attempts for 322 yards, no touchdowns and four interceptions in a 27-23 win over North Carolina on Thursday.

Morris may have exceeded 300 yards for only the second time this season, but this was his worst outing of 2013. For a point of reference, the senior quarterback had thrown four interceptions in five games entering Thursday's contest. Morris won the Manning Passing Academy skills competition in July, capping a spectacular summer that saw his NFL draft stock on the rise. The season hasn't been so kind. Despite a 6-0 Miami start, Morris has posted an anemic 9/8 TD/INT ratio.

ESPN's Mel Kiper believes Miami senior QB Stephen Morris is an "enormous talent throwing the football."

"He's got a live arm, stands tall in the pocket, he can move around as well, and he's the kind of guy that has been there and done that," Kiper said. Morris has been dealing with an ankle injury, which has limited his mobility in some games, but we are still waiting on a consistent performance from start to finish. His vertical passing is something to fawn over.

Miami senior QB Stephen Morris completed 17 of 22 attempts for 324 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions in a 45-30 win over Georgia Tech.

Morris started with an NFL throw down the seam for a touchdown, but threw two terrible interceptions. One was to a dropping linebacker in the middle of the field, which has always given Morris trouble. He was obviously hampered by an ankle injury, but Morris has yet to post a consistent game from start to finish this season.

Miami senior QB Stephen Morris re-injured his ankle against USF and will not return to the game.

Morris took a few huge hits early on long completions, which is a great trait to showcase. However, Morris has dealt with injuries throughout his career, including back surgery in 2011. We love Morris' vertical shots, but these injuries limit his chances to show consistency.

Miami senior QB Stephen Morris should be 100 percent healthy tomorrow, according to head coach Al Golden.

Golden adds Morris will be "ready to go" for this Saturday's game against USF and there is no chance of re-injuring the ankle. Morris has had a rocky season, showing NFL type throws but poor decisions on back to back possessions. We are still fans of his tools, but consistency would be nice.
