Eagle Eye: How QB Morris Fits With Eagles

The preseason is over. There is a ton to break down with the roster down to 53 players entering the first week of the regular season. The biggest news of the weekend for the Eagles came from the quarterback position after the Eagles decided to part ways with both Matt Barkley and Tim Tebow in favor of Stephen Morris, who was acquired on Sunday after being waived by the Jacksonville Jaguars. Who is Stephen Morris, you ask?

Morris was a leader and a very productive starter for the University of Miami. Coming out of college, many analysts (including yours truly) really liked the 6-2 quarterback’s arm strength and athletic ability.
