NBC Sports football analyst Chris Simms joins "49ers Talk" host Matt Maiocco to break down San Francisco and quarterback Brock Purdy. Simms' annual QB countdown assesses the NFL's top signal-callers and where they stand in the position group. Simms details what goes into his evaluation of quarterbacks and the attributes Purdy possesses that traditional metrics might not track. Also, Jennifer Lee Chan joins Matt to analyze how the impending addition of edge rusher Bryce Huff from the Philadelphia Eagles might affect the newly retooled defensive line.
