The HoF is for a career's statistics. Dale Murphy had a good career but not really HoF numbers.

Jack Morris was a great pitcher in his time. He had the best record for pitchers in the AL in the 1980's. He isn't in the HoF and probably never will be. Same with Murphy. A few good years that he was dominant, but not a complete career where that excellence was consistent and better over time than most. Morris also has 3 rings while Murphy has none.

Jack Morris -should- be in the Hall. When you win 162 games over a 10-year span, that in itself qualifies as dominance over a reasonably long period of time (there are guys whose entire careers don't last 10 years). Plus, that 10-inning complete-game shutout in game 7 of the '91 WS was the best single big-game pitching performance of the decade.
