"I wasn't crazy about Jaxson Dart, I will say this. His personality, his talent, everything is much better than I expected. The throwing — he can throw with power. He has great touch if he needs that. He's a really good decision-maker." Dart was 23-for-29 passing for 230 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in the rousing Week 1 win over the Cowboys.

Simms now a fan after Dart's personality and talent exceeded expectations; second-year leap evident.

Phil Simms reversed his initial skepticism about Jaxson Dart, citing a significant second-year leap. Simms noted Dart's personality, talent, and on-field performance exceeded expectations; he praised Dart's throwing power, touch, and decision-making. In Week 1 against the Cowboys, Dart completed 23-of-29 passes for 230 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Simms emphasized that players love Dart and listen when he speaks, and that Harbaugh's staff has brought out his best traits. Simms also highlighted Dart's sneaky athleticism—he runs faster in the NFL than in college and is a slick, elusive runner—and his complete arm talent (accuracy, power, touch).
