York Says Kaepernick Will Get ‘Fresh Start’ Under Kelly

Jan 29, 2016 at 1:00 PM--


When the 49ers signed Chip Kelly to be head coach, it was considered a positive sign for quarterback Colin Kaepernick.Despite his regression over the 2014 and 2015 seasons, Kaepernick always has seemed like a nice fit for Kelly's fast-paced attack that is suited to a running, read-option-capable quarterback.During Kelly's introductory news conference, he said he welcomed the prospect of working with both Kaepernick and Blaine Gabbert – who supplanted him – and said the QB situation was one of the factors that made the job attractive.Now, 49ers CEO Jed York has given another indication that the team is willing to give Kaepernick another chance to get back on track.Speaking on the syndicated "Rich Eisen Show" Thursday, York said he won't be involved in the decision-making process about who will start in 2016, but the organization believes Kaepernick can still be effective in the right situation after he gets healthy. This past season and offseason Kaepernick had surgery on his left shoulder, right thumb and left knee, according to Cam Inman of the Bay Area News Group."We've all seen what Colin can do, taking us to a Super Bowl and an NFC Championship Game the year...

49ers view Isaac Yiadom as leading candidate to start at CB, says insider

The San Francisco 49ers' signing of cornerback Isaac Yiadom to a one-year deal wasn't a headline-grabbing move. It wasn't even the Bay Area team's most significant free-agency move thus far. That would be defensive end Leonard Floyd signing a two-year deal with the 49ers. However, San Francisco hopes Yiadom proves to be one of its more underrated signings. The 28-year-old defensive back is coming off his best NFL season. Yiadom's 81.1 overall grade and 80.4 coverage grade from Pro Football Focus were career highs. Opposing quarterbacks completed 50 percent of their passes (22 of 44) and owned an 84.4 passer rating when targeting the former New Orleans Saints defender in 2023. RELATED:

Jed York refuses to be ashamed of 49ers' 2023 campaign

By David Bonilla
Mar 26

Over the past five seasons, the San Francisco 49ers have appeared in four NFL Championship Games and two Super Bowls. The team represented the NFC in Super Bowl 58 last month, narrowly missing out on earning the organization's sixth Vince Lombardi Trophy. CEO and soon-to-be principal owner Jed York refuses to feel ashamed of what the 49ers accomplished during its 2023 campaign, recognizing that the team is regarded by many as a model for building an organization. Few NFL franchises have enjoyed as much success in recent years. "I just think you can't be ashamed of a successful season," York told reporters on Tuesday at the NFL owners meetings. "And our goal is always going to be to
