The 61-year-old coach expressed full confidence in Lamar’s “work ethic and brilliant talent,” noting that Jackson has already demonstrated his worth to the team.
Last year, Jackson won his second MVP award after an impressive season in which he threw for 3,678 yards and 24 touchdowns, and rushed for 821 yards and five touchdowns—leading his team in both categories. Despite some criticism regarding his postseason performance, Harbaugh remains optimistic, believing that Jackson will have many more opportunities to shift the narrative.
