Another reason the pressure is on Dak Is because Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson and Drew Brees are gone. They were road blocks for a young Dak who is in the middle of his prime w/ a SQUAD. Now is the time to steal a championship or atleast go to the NFC title game. If he is elite like he thinks he is, like he played last week… he needs to get it done. All these young QB’s in the NFC are only going to get better.

If Purdy goes out here and plays well in a win, he can demand some respect on his name and may become the 49ers full time starter. And he can turn that into a nice pay day for himself.
