Blaine Gabbert

Blaine's play was fine last night, he moved the ball and put up 7 points. Nothing great, nothing bad.

He completed 2 passes for 14 yards.

I agree. Gabbert is not inaccurate, he was 2 for 3 yesterday and 6 for 9 last week, about 60% last year. He reminds me of Alex Smith, a game manager who doesn't make spectacular plays but won't lose the ball thru sacks or interceptions. Kelly has said that's exactly what he wants. He has the potential to do that.

You can't make judgments based on a few plays of the preseason when there is no game planning and only vanilla plays are used.

If you look at the big picture you have a poor passing game with an average QB and lousy receivers, but you also have what could be a strong running game with an improved O-Line and good stable of runners. You also have what should be a much improved defense. You have a solid coaching staff. So there is potential for a significant improvement over last years fiasco.

He's completed half his passes this preseason.

55.8 career completion percentage. Even on the TD "pass" it was an inaccurate pass.

Kelly was lucky to come here. Dude landed a job months after being fired for poor play and all that controversy.

He did not have much sway with this front office. Especially given how he destroyed the Eagles front office all by himself.

Do you really think he could command our front office so vigorously to affect the drafting philosophies of a one, Trent J. Baalke?

Ummm, what? Every damn player we brought in was a Kelly-guy.

You even forty-nine?

On 3 attempts, while leading a touchdown drive on 1 of the 2 drives. If this was out of 15 attempts over the course of 4-6 drives wherein they didn't score you'd have a better point.

Man you know what I mean. You were implying Kelly basically drafted for us this year. I said no, not after what he pulled in Phi and not since he came here with his tail between his legs. Did Baalke bring in guys that would fit his scheme, of course why wouldn't he?

But don't pretend that this draft wasn't 100% signed off of and built by Baalke and only Baalke. His marquee signing of another DB instead of Dak in the fourth is all you need to know, my fellow niner fan. And I will bid you good day, sir.

He lead the drive? He accounted for 14 yards. Hyde more than doubled that production on one run.

He executed the offense as Kelly intended. If Kap had simply done that we wouldn't all know Gabbert was the obvious starter.

I see Kap fanatics are here to bash our starting QB, even our HC. May I suggest rooting for a different team to fail? Wanting Gabbert to fail just so Kap will somehow look better is not logical. Crapping on the HC is even worse.

Expecting Gabbert to play like Joe Montana isnt logical either. What's logical in this situation?

Well, hoping our starting QB really steps up while we win some games seems to be the logical position. Cheering for the 49ers starting QB to do well seems like something a 49er fan would dontHoping Chip Kelly can turn this team around seems like the logical position for a 49er fan.

Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. Worse case scenerio we're drafting QB early 2017 and we keep building a good team moving forward. It should be (should be) fun watching all this unfold rather than watching games hoping the starting QB will fail. Pointing out any and all mistakes as if people arent aware of the fact Gabbert has question marks over his head this season. Chip os also a good HC. Much better than Tomsula and better than Harbaugh on offense.

Gabbert won the starting job. He has not won some unquestioned role as the 49ers long term answer at the QB position. Blaine Gabbert deserves an honest shot and he'll get it. I hope he proves us wrong and plays very well this year. It would keep us from having to move up in the draft to land a top QB prospect.

If he does well, great! If not, oh well, we draft QB in 2017.

Exactly.

Jeez, sus, I finally agree with you and then this. He is NOT garbage. He got the first string to control the ball, move the chains, and score. No he is not accurate as Brady or Rodgers. But he was adequate, and way better than anything else we have seen here this PS. So I'll take him as our QB until we get someone better. And Kap isn't in that scenario. Blaine also has the players behind him, no insignicant thing, for a QB. They played for him. You saw what happened when Kap came in . It looked like the guys all slowed down. They didn't have his back. Does Kap have any close friends on the team? Because Gab has the support of his team and thus they move the ball and chains. Kap ain't in that discussion.

I don't know what you expected at QB this yr, but I was hoping for a couple guys who could game manage, and get us thru the yr. Next yr we need our franchise QB, no matter the cost in picks. But this yr we need to play well enough so that in FA , guys know we played to the end of every game, and were in it, plus we got a handful of wins. Then they will look at the cap space we have. And chip will have his own rep by then and hopefully that draws FAs also. Because we aren't going to have many picks the next two yr if we have to trade up for our franchise QB. So hope gab and Driskell can at least make us competitive. Somewhere the talent on the team will take hold. At QB, we just have to squeak by.

Sus, if you expected more than that, I will be truly surprised.

Yep. We all love to see the 2012 Kap be the starter, but Kap has not played at that level for 2.5 years. It's time to move on.

Every time you copy/paste this it just makes you look even more ignorant with each passing day.

Oh does it now? Most of the better players he has picked are currently on other teams now. Most of the free agents he's picked up are busts recently... With all of the extra picks picks he's had how many of his picks are all pro or pro bowlers? This whole team has been declining for years now, not just the scapegoat. It's his job to evaluate retain and replace talent, he has failed so far in doing that. I'll admit Kap isn't what I thought he was... Can you admit Baalke has declined/failed as well? I don't think I'm the one who looks ignorant here.
