49ers officially bench Kaepernick
 

@AdamSchefter: Big move in Bay Area: 49ers benching QB Colin Kaepernick for Blaine Gabbert, as @Kyle_McLorgBASG reported.

Kaepernick is absolute shit

No question they will draft a QB rd 1 next spring.

Oh and things are setting up as they always do for us. We will trade for this clown to continue the trend.

Bring him in for a look?

Wow!! Good thing they got rid of Smith for him.

Holy shit! How much you have to suck to get benched for Gabbert???

Before this year, it would have looked like a good spot for Gabbert to land. With the way that team has disintegrated, he might not be better off than he was in Jacksonville.

I watched him at MU and about fell over when he got drafted at #10...that is what you call a ****ing REACH!

Kaep hasn't played well at all, but man **** that team is a disaster.

Niners should trade for Chase Daniel, so they can have a real Mizzou QB show Gabbert how it's done

Excellent. We're only a season or two away from our next 9er QB. The end of the Smith era is near.

Great so best case scenario we get SF leftovers again. **** that organization to hell and back.

the niners should bring in tebow and im a niners fan, all i can say is embrace the suck.

Trade them Alex for a pair of second rounders! :thumb:

Do they even have a GM?

Yes. He had a problem with Harbaugh, which started the whole thing.

Jed York is a big dumb bundle of sticks and sided with the wrong person. A bad personnel change and bad drafting led to this. This franchise is ****ed.

I'd bet my left nut that Chip Kelly tries to pick up this sack of shit.

Chip Kelly is in the mix for the playoffs with the skeleton remains of Sam Bradford.

He could win with Kaepernick.

I know he has almost no shot to pull this off, but I would love to see Gabbert resurrect his career with this chance. To bad it had to come in a dumpster fire of an organization.

Their fans are even worse.

I can't tell you how many times I heard that the 49ers "upgraded" with Tomsula over Harbaugh.

49er fans are reeruns

ROFL

for Blaine mother****ing Gabbert, 10outta10 for pure entertainment

The funniest thing is the 49ers determining the best solution to a leaky ass pass block is to put in a statue.

Tomsula

No doubt


Think Dorsey and Reid bring him in for a look??

ROFL

ROFL

Karma is a bitch. Kaepernick literally showed 0 improvements over the entire time that he started in SF. Once teams adjusted to him he had no answers. What a piece of shit. ROFL

Gabbert sucks
I wonder if Chip Kelly is going to trade for Kaep...

Niners would have at least 1 Lombardi if 1) Kyle Williams hadn't fumbled it twice in the NFC game against the Giants 2) Smith had finished that 2012 season instead of Kaep

Any chance they want to give us picks for Smith. LMAO

Why would he? Kaepernick is inaccurate as shit and Kelly actually wants/requires precision in his QBs. Just because Kaep has some speed doesn't mean he'll fit Kelly's system.

There goes any chance for us drafting a qb in round one.

I love that the ongoing joke around here for the last couple of years has been that the Chiefs will sign Kaepernick once Smith is finished. Now, I can totally see KC picking him up after he's officially cut. Picking up 49er castoff QB's is an art that the Chiefs have mastered.

Gabbert is awful. Kap is worse though, the man can't throw the ball worth anything.

They're both terrible but they need to experience for themselves just how terrible Gabbert is.

Told you Alex was better.

Stevie Wonder could see that Smith was better...

His offensive coordinator is geep chryst. He had no chance

Time to give Harbaugh and Roman the credit they deserve. They got the absolute most out of Kaepernick and Alex.

This. I about fell over at all of the gushing of Gabbert during draft week.

Here is your guys QB.

yeah, we know.


:(

Kap and RG3 were media darlings and touted as the next great QBs 3 years ago. Crazy how far the pendulum has swung.

I know it's fun to bash the Chiefs. God knows they deserve it.

You can blame Reid and Dorsey for Alex Smith, but they weren't the ones who brought in Grbac and Bono. And despite the relentless and zealous demands of the Chiefsplanet brain trust, they were smart enough to pass on Geno Smith.

There is no ****ing way Kaepernick is coming to KC.

I saw something where Schefter said he thinks that we should trade Chase Daniel for RG3.

I'd prefer to resign Chase, Identify the best QB in the draft, go get him, and go from there...

O RLY?

Yeah, thanks. Just noticed it. Also, I just replied whenever this was the first thread I opened, and didn't care to go searching. You're a gem for pointing it out to me, though. Keep up the great work!

I agree.

:)

i thought when you said that you saw it somewhere, you saw it on the board topics

They'll probably be better under Gabbert, not that it matters

I didn't even know that Gabbert was still in the league. I think I'd rather have Cassel than Gabbert.

Having lived near both QBs when they were incumbent starters, no. There is no comparison between Cassel and Gabbert. Gabbert 10 times out of 10

What is your opinion on Gabbert and his potential? I have always wondered why he has busted so badly. I don't know much about him... Just remember him from the bowl game vs. Iowa and a Chiefs vs. Jags game... Plus I remember reading an article where they wrote about him having a photographic memory.

Benched on his 28th birthday. ROFL

YESSS!~!!!

Theres a QB who actually sucks more than ours!!!!

**** YAH

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

celebrate

he took them to a superbowl, what has smith done for us?


if the chiefs gave a shit, smith would already have been benched just like he was in san francisco

He has the physical skills to be a QB, but he has always been inaccurate. He has always had happy feet in the pocket and was prone to turnovers. He really only had 2 or 3 games at Mizzou where he looked great and the rest of the time he was pretty mediocre.

He pretty much got put into the worst situation you could ever imagine professionally. When the Jags drafted him they still had Garrard, but rather than letting him sit and learn for a year, which they should have done given his cheap contract, they threw him in halfway into the second game of the year. He had nothing around him and a terrible coach who was coaching for his job, so he went to someone who wasn't ready to buy himself time.

After that, he went through two more coaches and OCs in two years while also battling injuries and his only playmaker drank himself out of the league after a year.

It also didn't help that his college QB coach taught him to play flat-footed, which makes it terribly difficult to actually scan through your reads and throw with any accuracy, so he had to learn footwork, drops, and read NFL defenses (which was never asked of him at Mizzou).

Nevertheless, he may have never worked out just because he never had a feel for the pocket. What's interesting is that people always bash him for playing afraid, and maybe he was, but he also displayed the most toughness I've ever seen from a Mizzou QB when he didn't miss a game after Suh basically amputated his foot on a dirty-ass play.

He's probably a great example of why you can never really tell with an NFL QB. He was very smart, had a good football mind, elite size, he could make all the throws, and he was a really good athlete.

I sometimes wonder if his football intelligence was overstated.

I dunno, he seemed to just get beaten to death, then gave up.

As a Missouri fan I never thought of him as first rounder when he came out. He should have stayed in school. But when the league is QB crazy and you're a top ten pick, why not go?

In Jacksonville it would be hard for anyone to have succeeded with so little talent around them and with new coordinators virtually every year, but he shares half the blame as well. The bad reads and such were his.

Gabbert can make any throw you can draw up but has trouble with turnovers. Cassel doesn't rise to the level of being able to make the throws.

Gabbert is essentially just raw material. He didn't develop in JAX but he's still only 26.

Pretty much anyone would have.

You can ruin any player with bad enough coaching and talent in the NFL. Look at how Luck has regressed this year.

Pretty much. By the end he was seeing ghosts and sensing pressure the few times it wasn't there...

Funny how people said Stafford and Kap and all these QB's were so great..pffft.

Luck isn't looking all that special lately either.

Once their confidence is broken, it's hard to get back. Takes a special kind of player.

I say Joe Montana, Peyton Manning, John Elway, and Tom Brady are the four best I've seen play in my lifetime of 52 years old. Rogers isn't far behind

The talent on both those teams has gone waaaaay down...

Greatness isn't easy to find, as it turns out/as it has always been

but....but great qb's carry teams!

/hypocrits

seriously though, it's a quirky year for sure. lots of 4-4, 3-5 records with good qb's.

Where do you live Dane Because in the Bay Area radio Every one pretty much hates York right now and thinks Tomsula is a joke


That said this morning the local 49ers radio guys said at least the 49ers aren't chiefs bad yet.

not look good? Hes brought the team within a breath of winning twice in two weeks. Saints/Panthers

Pretty much.

Just like any sport, confidence and structure is proving to be a huge factor with these qbs.

So then it begs the question, is it something at this point he can change?

Not with out the right coaching and no way in hell is Tomsula the right coach.

Death of the spread offense in the NFL lost of Harbaugh weak o-line

Yeah, in terms of developing qbs, the nfl has cultured itself into potentially devouring itself. Coaches don't want to spend time developing these qbs because of getting canned so they're thrown out there too soon and not developed.

Once the current crop of aging qbs retire and move on, the qb landscape is going to drastically change.

Santa Clara is too far away from San Francisco

After the Super Bowl nobody will give a single **** about that team

They should have renovated candlestick

Santa Clara is AIDS

Teams realized he can't read defenses and shits the bed when you cover his first option.

It's the same as rgiii. They allowed him to do the things he's great out, sculpted the offense around it, all the while not developing the things he isn't good at.

Those things just happen to be things you have to be able to do to operate in the nfl.

There will always be a place for traditional pocket passers, with accuracy and pocket presence
