Assuming 2 and 3 were completely different and not about the robot invasion of Zion, he would have been an awesome ship captain.
How about Morpheus dies with his ship, sending Trinity, Neo, and Tank loose in an escape pod, lost to the ancient city sewer networks, found by Liam's ship in 2. Some badass mission ensues.
It would have been a good contrast from Morpheus's faith in the oracle shtick. It would have been a way to showcase the depth of philosophies of ship captains and how they see the war. He could be a lot more pragmatic for example.
