Phil Simms and Boomer Esiason are of the belief that Brock Purdy can take the extra step and lead the 49ers to the Super Bowl in 2023.
Pickett, who also went to college at Pittsburgh, passed for 2,404 yards, completing 245 of 389 passes with seven touchdowns and nine interceptions.

The 49ers won 33-17, with Simms and everyone else starting to realize Purdy wasn’t your typical “Mr. Irrelevant.”During a call that went on for more than an hour, Simms, Esiason and fellow analysts Nate Burleson and J.J.
Purdy came off the bench and led the 49ers past Miami. Beat Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in his first home start. Led the 49ers to a division title with a broken rib in Seattle. Beat the Seahawks and Dallas Cowboys in the playoffs.
