Its sad to me that this fanbase never learns from the past. Weve been here before. Only 6 years ago. The fans were so convinced that everything was Alex Smith's fault, and they chanted for Carr. They got their wish, and he was AWFUL.

Same situation, different names. Gabbert would be awful. Same OL, same playcalling, but with no running ability. You think things would magically get better?

Fix the OL, fix a HUGE part of the problem. It should be priority one.

So if kaep gets hurt you'd rather pay him 11 million than sitting him and releasing him for 2

Id rather exhaust every opportunity to get Kap over the hump than give up early and be stuck with Gabbert the rest of the way, and then wait another 1-2 years for a rookie to get acclimated.

People dont see it yet, but moving on from Kap will put this team deep in the dark 2004-2005 pit. It can get even worse.

Were going to be watching Gabbert running around scared, ducking into sacks and skipping balls into the ground. The offense will get even harder to watch. People will start to realize that at least Kap had the physical talent to make plays. It will back to the days of a check down QB with no deep ball.

Don't worry about Gabbert, if he can't handle it, we will just sign a better free agent veteran in the offseason that's all. The 9ers are not going to the playoffs, our season is already over.

I tell you what, if you keep Kap we will definitely go into the dark, dark ages. We will draft a top franchise QB and sit him behind the vet for a year while rebuilding the rest of the pieces.

But, we must bench Kap right NOW. We are not going to dig a hole for ourselves, if he gets injured we will be well screwed.

As long as the right side of the OL stays the same, no QB will succeed here.

Btw, who are these "better free agents" you speak of? Good QB's arent made available.

It's more about just getting rid of Kaep than finding a suitable replacement.

First thing you have to remember is we are rebuilding. That means we are not all of a sudden going to become fantastic. It will take some time. We only need a veteran QB who can sustain efficient QB play that can tie us through say a season until the new rookie is ready.

As for the right side of the line, I am sure we will address it in the offseason via draft as well as free agency. We will have a tonne of cap room especially if we cut Kap. Don't worry we will find someone.

OR you rebuild around a QB that has won playoff games and taken a team to the SB. I get it you're not a Kap fan and now you see an opportunity to get rid of him and replace him with the likes of Chase Daniels or Fitz lol. I'd rather restructure his contract build the OL and D, then drop a starting QB for career backups and "try" to find our franchise QB which could take years.

People act like finding a franchise QB is easy lol...build the team around him.

LOL yes please

Can Gabbert play OL? If so, I'd start him.

If you're going to cut Kap for another terrible FA QB to be a stop gap for a rookie, you may as well keep Kap or start the rookie. According to Rascal it's going to be a disaster either way.

The kid didn't look too good this past game, he looks like another back up QB, this team needs a starter if Kap leaves.

I think it's more that he's set to make some pretty good cash next year,but SF can cut him with having to give him a dime...I think it would be better to restructure his contract (crap ton of incentives) OR if SF is really done with him trade him for something of value...I hear Chip Kelly will give ya some solid players lol.

Not too many of those lying around. That's my issue with getting rid of Kap.

Gabbert is poo poo.
