According to franchise legend Steve Young’s history in similar situations, Purdy’s time off for the purposes of rest may not be a good thing. 49ers Legend Young’s Comments on Purdy Steve Young had telling comments on Purdy in comments shared by the San Francisco Chronicle. “I can speak from the quarterback spot: I don’t like it,” Young said Wednesday. “I don’t like sitting out – taking a week off. I’d rather warm up, play a quarter, even a half, and be done. That’s the way to kind of stay with it …
Now you’re going to get the next week off, so you’re not going to play for three weeks. Twenty-one days. From the quarterback spot, that’s a hard restart. It takes a minute. I always said, every game you miss, it takes a half to get fully up to speed.”
