Colin Kaepernick Thread

I think the decision was made prior to Kelly being hired and I have a feeling Kaepernick is gone no matter what but I think he has a better chance of being a good QB again than Gabbert has to be a good QB for the first time in his career.

I do think Kelly's offense could be beneficial to Gabbert who can make quick short throws without having to move well in the pocket.

I didn't say it was impressive. I just think that the 49ers need a true franchise QB and that guy isn't on the roster right now. If it comes down to Kaepernick serving as a placeholder for $11+ mil or Gabbert at $2 mil, Gabbert clearly has the advantage. In anycase, neither of these guys will be on the 49ers roster in a couple years.

I doubted he would be back before kelly, but there was some hope with that hire.

But then the staff came and now this. Not looking good.

We better nab a QB in the draft.

We have Gabbert though.

CK definitely not happy with #49ers but we have miles to go in this saga. NYJ, HOU, DEN, CLE among possibilities.... @Tha_Green_1 True??

I say Denver. Then he can avoid throwing to Vernon Davis again.

Too bad the Jets don't have a player that we'd like to trade for.

I wouldn't mind taking Bryce Petty off their hands.

Haha. Gabbert at his best is not even close to Alex Smith and we didn't want to settle for playoff bound. I think Smith would've flourished in CHIPS offense.

That I think he would. However if they do end up cutting ties with Kaepernick, then they'll have a shot at drafting a QB early if they want them.

Really Bryce petty?

Wouldn't they still have a shot to draft a QB even if they kept Kaepernick?
