Morton is exactly where a seventh-round quarterback should be: a developmental third option with a live quick game and time to learn behind a settled starter. He kept the emergency-QB spot with enough poise and a late preseason rally, but the tape also made clear that the downfield and pressure answers need seasoning.
Strengths: Quick release, functional pocket mobility, substantial college starting experience and a willingness to reset after mistakes.
Weaknesses: Deep-ball consistency and risk management are still works in progress. Extended drop-backs exposed some hurried decisions in preseason.
