“I was encouraged by a lot of stuff I saw from Brock Purdy last year,” Simms said on the latest “49ers Talk,” which was released Monday. “I feel like he did more off-schedule, more ‘wow’ plays, more ‘wow’ throws, making some more happen when it wasn’t there to be had than he had the two years previous to that.
“That’s where I saw a growth in his game.”
....That said, Simms also added that there were times when Purdy got away from what he does best.
“He can’t lose the surgicality in running the offense and being an absolute machine with making the right decisions play after play after play,” Simms said.
