Those dropped passes were uglyyy
The Good Gabby and the secondary, and Bowman. Bad is Simpson and the other drops by Torrey and Vance.
Ugly is our Right side Oline...
I thought it Ugly that Carradine is benched. Heck, put him in to rush the passer. If he isnt cutting it inside, put him on the edge and see how he plays. Tank is in the doghouse bigtime

Yeah, I mean, your 4th string (roughly) running back ought to do better than that. They should be bringing in 150 yard games straight after being signed.

#97 covers this.

Wonder why our run defense was so stout all of a sudden. Was Tank that undisciplined in keeping his gap or is he just not a hold your gap DLmen?
I liked Gabberts mentality out there. Kid was fired up and looked like a gamer. Just one game obviously, but I pray this is a big turnaround for Gabbert. It would be a PHENOMENAL help to us if he's turned a corner and is now a legitimate starting QB. That'd give us a lot of options going forward. Think about it.

We'll have plenty more games to see what he's made of now.
Regardless that 6th round pick to get him was well spent

Yeah, he took the hit, and then after that threw off his back foot directly into coverage. Is that because he took a hell of a hit? Is it just because he made a mistake in his read? Is it because it was really the only two times he faced serious interior pressure that day because he was playing a team that can't generate a pass rush? We don't yet know the answers to these things yet.

I'm not knocking the guy, he played really well and made some throws we haven't seen from Kaepernick, but I'm not asking if he can get hit in the mouth or not. That's never been the problem. His problem is that he breaks down when facing interior pressure and makes boneheaded decisions. That happened yesterday. It was one play, but it happened. If in the last two years he's learned how to step into a throw and take a hit that would be great, but so far, despite him playing a good game overall, he still looks to be who he is. I'm OF COURSE rooting for him to not be who he is, though.

I'm liking Gabbert but he didn't really get hit on that play. The DL ended up putting his paws on Gabbert's chest which wouldn't have knocked him down. The reason he fell down was because he tripped over a DL that fell behind him.

But still, he threw more completions after the big second half hit.

Loved his emotion coming back into the huddle. He was amped and showed it to his teammates in the huddle.

There's no way he knew he wasn't going to get hit on that play, imo. He stepped into the hit to make the throw, and the DL let up on him. He didn't have to, but he did. Still sows the contact courage you need from a QB in that scenario. Will he do it every time? probably not. Will he do it enough? Hell, I don't know, but let's see.
Special teams was we need someone to kick the ball out the end zone on kickoffs. If we play like this in two weeks Lockett will hv a field day.

I would love to see the goalpost cam or from behind the QB. Considering that the LB opened his hips to his left, I want to believe that Gabbert looked him off and then went to the TE. If that's that case, then call me impressed. If not, then it was a simple one read timing play. However, he still hit his top, hitched and let it rip.
