Part 5/8:
Transitioning from overall team performance, the discussion shifted to quarterback Brock Purdy's recent return to the field. Young analyzed Purdy’s performance against the Buffalo Bills, questioning if the offensive line's struggles or Purdy’s own hesitation was to blame for a less than stellar outing. He suggested that defenses are beginning to smell weakness, which disrupts the flow of offense.
Young also highlighted the need for the quarterback to embody a physical presence in order to push back against aggressive defensive strategies. The game has evolved fundamentally; it demands more from quarterbacks now than mere execution of plays. They must also possess the ability to influence the game's physicality, pushing defenses back and proving themselves as formidable opponents.
