Just stop watching the NFL altogether unless the 49ers are in the SB if the only thing worth watching are 49er SB wins. 49ers, in your view, have had 5 successful seasons since 1946. That's a terrible %, so why bother watching at all? Bill Walsh had more failed seasons (7) than he did successful ones (3).
Cynicism is so petty.
Isn't the whole reason why the Jimmy fans say they want him to start is because this is a SB roster> But now that he is starting, Winning the SB is not everything?
Winning the SB is everything. I truly hope Jimmy ups his play and wins it all. I was hoping Lance would continue to improve because I figured he had a better chance than Jimmy does to have those big QB plays in the playoffs a team usually needs to win the SB.
All that in mind, I also watch this game to be entertained weekly. Like, what is the point if you can't enjoy the ride? Some of my favorite teams I've watched didn't win it all, the 2019 49er team among them. That season was a joy to watch, even if the very end was a terrible disappointment. Same goes for the 2011 team. Or, in baseball, the 2002 and 2012 A's were two of my favorite teams to watch.
It doesn't need to be a dour, scared, cynical, b***h-fest outlook until they win the SB.
I have fond memories of 1998, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2019, 2021. all season I enjoyed for different reasons. Just because they didn't win it do any make them a complete failure.
