4. Also he gave Jerry a life preserver during the whole kneeling situation.
All those things you listed makes Jerry feel like that they are almost there and the team is relevant in sports talk. His worst fear is the team going through the post-triplet/Dave Campo era, where they were not contenders with a dimming spotlight. Dak was in contention for MVP, and that’s good enough for Jerry. He would rather go through a carousel of coaches.
What is sad but infuriating, This was probably the best opportunity for this team to get to the NFC Championship in a Dak era. Like everything was lined up for them, but they squandered it. Those playoff 49ers losses took some of the luster out of what this team does in the regular season for me being a fan. That is why my optimism is minimal to nonexistent regarding this team
