Originally posted by pasodoc9er:Blaine looks injured to me and no way he should play sunday. Really interested in what our PS Qbs can do for final game. Also really want pears, martin, devey out there, plus a PS OL to help protect our Ps QB. Wonder if it will happen?

What did he injure?

The move to Kilgore at center was also better in the last game but in the two prior his PFF grades were only slightly better than Martin's better games.
Also, Gabbert never had a healthy Celek. He has gone with McDroppsies and rookie Bell.
Draughn was a lucky find but not better than Hyde, plus it took him a while to get the protections down.
Lots of ground already covered here. Gabbert is just a better fit right now.
Yes would be nice to have Celek, but I think the Oline changes were just as, if not more important.
Gabbert has looked better, but they both had awful supporting casts
Sorry but the first post was b******t. The most important change was Tiller starting at guard instead of Devey, which did not occur until after Kap was benched. Kap had to play behind Pears, Martin and Devey in the worst OLine in living memory against the better defenses on our schedule. That's why the guy was broken.
Initially Tiller was only splitting time with Devey, and his graders were not appreciably better than Devey. Once he started and played regularly his performance picked up dramatically.
However, all that is beside the point; being, Kaepernick was not even "looking" like a pro quarterback. As we have discussed ad nauseum here, his grasp of fundamentals is very low and has never been very good. By his own admission he never paid much attention to mechanics, and it is that lack of mechanics that has caused him problems. To attempt to lay that lacking on a weak OL is without substance.
Gabbert, by comparison, is MUCH more sound fundamentally, and that is the main point. Even if the numbers on both players were equal, the fact Gabbert is more sound fundamentally makes him the better choice going forward.

Gabbert is having all day to throw and still playing like poop.

I'm sure he'll make some more meaningless throws in the 4th to pad his stats!
