No he does not. Career numbers are decent, at best. Schilling blows him away in postseason stats. Morris was a good pitcher on great teams. But he's not one of the best ever. The only arguments people can make for him are cherry picked stats (see above post) and made up characteristics, aka intangibles.

Jim Kaat has 30 more wins and something like 14 Gold Gloves as a pitcher. If he is not in, and he is off the ballot now, Jack Morris certainly doesn't get in. Have to draw the line somehwere and pity for Morris he is on the outside.

Morris was probably the best big game pitcher in the 1980's. Growing up watching Morris, he'd always pitch to the level of his opposition, but always won. He'd win games 2-1 and win games 7-6. He just always won, but it also effected his era. That being said, there's no other pitcher id want starting in the 80's if I had to win one game. They guy was just clutch.
