Gabbert!!! Blaine is way smarter, and doesn't get enough credit for a heck of a job he done last season. I think he'll accel next season with some better online and a compitant offensive minded coach. Kap actually made all kinds of bad decisions even when he ran zone read plays back when harbs was coaching! Blaine is quicker than Kap in short bursts. Kap is only faster long distance.

LOL this is the person that will be running the offense. The one that is taking the time to understand it

Yep, Blaine is already studying tape and letting that fact be know. Unlike the recluse in Colorado.

Correct. It takes Kap about 10 to 15 yards to get to full speed.

Incorrect. Blaine is a good runner, but he's got nothing on Kap. Kap is faster from the second he decides to take off.

If we dump Kap I think it's a real possibility. It all depends on the market for him.

I think Gabs should run the offense. Hopefully, have Kap traded and a rookie QB waiting in the wings.

QB Competition!!!!
I don't care who wins it as Chip knows who what his system needs better than me. The interesting part of the competition will be what do we do with the loser.
Obviously, if Kap wins it, we keep Gabbert. But if Gabbert wins it, what to do with Kap?

You have to cut, trade or bench him. You certainly cant let him play and risk him being hurt.
For that reason, I dont see there being a competition, at least not between Gabbert and Kaepernick. Too much risk if Kaepernick doesnt flat out take the job in a rout.
He gets hurt....that is $15 mil more that the team will be on the hook for in 2017.

Or he redefines himself as a very deadly threat at QB and gets us winning again. Can't worry about his contract if we are winning. If Kap wins the spot, then all power to him. Can't worry about the money if we have the best QB who Chip feels can get us wins.

Just don't see it happening for many reasons. Don't see him as a good fit at all in Kelly's offense. What Kelly has said throughout the years that he values in a QB over everything else is "repetitive accuracy." A QB that throws a good ball, a consistently accurate ball and puts it in a place where the receiver can gain the most yards with.
Jeff McLane ✔ @Jeff_McLane Just because Colin Kaepernick can run doesn't mean he's Chip Kelly's ideal QB. Kelly values repetitive accuracy above all for the position.
Howard Eskin ✔ @howardeskin Despite reports Chip kelly did not want to trade for #49ers QB Colin Kaepernick. Chip was not a fan while with #eagles @FOX29philly
"In this league, you've got to be able to throw the football. And that's the first skill set that we're looking for. Repetitive accuracy is the number one quality we're looking for in a quarterback."-Chip Kelly
Kaepernick ain't bout dat precision passing life. You need someone with quick feet, a quick release and good accuracy, not a guy with clunky feet and a long delivery that struggles to throw anything less than a 90mph fastball to receivers 10 yards away.
Call me a hater, I don't care, I'm just looking at Kaepernick's skillset and I don't see it. Kaepernick needs to be in a vertical passing offense, with a top-notch pass-blocking OL in front of him and plenty of burners at WR. He needs to be able to drop back and have multiple targets to throw to deep downfield, leading to big splash plays which can negate his lack of accuracy. In short, Kaepernick needs to play for a guy like Bruce Arians to be successful.
Kelly runs the WCO on meth pretty much. You need a guy who can make quick decisions and quick, accurate passes. Until Kelly gets that guy, I think he will struggle to fully implement his offense in the NFL.

Miller's place -- Chip Kelly never carried a fullback on his roster in Philadelphia, preferring instead to have extra wide receivers. So what does that man for Bruce Miller, the 49ers' fullback since 2011?
"I think Chip's no different than any other coach -- when you have a good player, you find a way to utilize him," Baalke said. "... And I think that's the mindset moving forward. Like any good football coach, they're going to evolve. And they're going to use the talent at their disposal to the best of their ability."
