Ugh. I like the guy too, but he has to audible or just throw the f**king thing. If he didn't see it at all that is one thing. If he is being coached to be inept because they have lost confidence in him that is another all together. If it is our philosophy to play with little little risk that is another as well.

Yep. Dewey's fault. Should have given Kaep more time to read the defense.

What does that one play have to do with anything? That play does not make Devey any better than the worst rated lineman in the league. Pears too. Martin is pretty low. Were you one of the astute people that were calling for Brady's benching last year too?

Point is, Kaep's problem goes even beyond the bad of Devey. Even with time that the offense line occasionally gave Kaep he took too long, late thrown balls, missed the open receiver/window, or forced a throw.

I just can't see any way possible that this is true. What would that say about Kap if he is being coached like this and he is just going along with it. No way. I think the most possible answer is the most likely. Kap just isn't very good. I can honestly say Ive never seen a supposed FRANCHISE QB whiff on a play so bad.

This was an egregious error on CK's part but it's being overblown. Is it really an example of his overall QBing or is it an example of his occassional lapses?

He evidently isn't in the habit of surveying the field before every play...terrible training. Fisher notices these things and has been known to take chances by not covering. Very astute by Fisher and points out a problem for Kaepernick going forward...he has not been trained, or trained himself, to be aware of the field on every play. He may be unable to gain that field awareness but it does make me wonder, even more, what the QB whisperer was doing for those years.

Once again, Walsh trained QBs to be aware, to have a system every play so nothing would be left out...it was all rote. And if one of his QBs missed an obvious TD...

This play is more damning because BEFORE the ball is snapped, he can't even bother himself to glance at his receivers, BECAUSE THATS NOT THE PLAY CALLED! He got his play and he's gonna run it.
This can't be blamed on the line AT ALL because he's not even doing what an average NFL QB would do, glance at the defense PRE SNAP. No pressure to blame kaps shortcomings on with this play.

There is no overreaction to this play cause this guy is our franchise QB and this type of crap shouldn't even be a problem with a guy whose been in the league as long as he's been in.

My god do some of you even read...once again nobody is saying Gab will be better. We are saying playing him is what is best for Kap and for the team long term. Leaving a guy who is shellshocked as you put it in the warzone and asking him to simply snap out of it is not going to fix anything. We aren't fixing the line or the coaching this year...so what good is leaving your QB in to continue to absorb hits and further regress going to do?

Yes, we do read:

" He will make the offense much better"
" He gets rid of the ball faster"
" He was good in pre-season"
" He reads defenses better"

I rest my case. Now I'm NOT saying that they should'nt change QB ... so don't READ me wrong!

As has been pointed out, the only reason, and IMO the most important reason Kap should be on the bench is if he gets hurt, the niners will be on the hook for his ridiculous contract next year.

Glancing to the left and right to check the coverage on your WR's isn't even a "gotta be a smart QB to do" kinda thing. Thats a common sense kinda of decision! I mean if you look at the play, the Rams were coming with an all out blitz and they were not afraid of Kaep because they knew what he was going to do. Obviously, Kaep is messed up in the head. He played better with Harbs, hate to admit it, but has regressed tremendously with this coaching staff. On this play, the OL isn't even to blame, This was all Kaep!! Maybe Gabbert doesn't see the open receivers either....but we'll never know unless Kaep is benched.

Gabbert was much more successful in the pre-season. Yeah pre-season doesn't matter to many of you but its all we got going right now. Kaep sucked and preseason and its now translating to the regular season.

Put a fork in him

When you make stupid mistakes like that you do not deserve millions of dollars to play qb. When you have a 10td to 9int ration you also don't deserve. Sit him on the bench so he doesn't get injured and the 9ners get stuck paying millions for nothing

The only reason why I think they keep playing him is to give him an opportunity for another team. He's obviously not gonna get the huge salary but when they cut him, if that happens, he'll get a back-up job somewhere. Could this be seen as doing him a favor?

I dont understand why 49ers fans doubt me. They paid to kap for millions. They are stubborn. I told them.. i said hold it. Kap was not legend yet. Next time, they should listen me and trust me. Bro..

At this point, it can't get any worse. Either Gabbert makes us better or we continue to spiral but at least we know. Hell, for all we know Gabbert looks good and wins some games for us. He's probably licking his chops right now waiting for that opportunity. I'm just dying to know what he can do. If he doesnt' do anything...again then we know.
