The only upside of Kelly is they might keep Kaep. Despite the media drivel, he is the best player on the team. (Except for Navorro Bowman)
Kaepernick is not responsible for terrible game plans, a terrible offensive line, and no running game.
It was obvious before the season he was going to be the York's scapegoat for their disastrous policies. And the media went along with it.
The game that Kaep was "benched" after, the only running back the GM provided was injured before the first attempted run. The offensive line was in total disarray. The defense keyed totally on the pass, because even when the 49ers had no ability to run. After that game, the O-Line played better. (but still not that great)
The media continually reported that Kaep played "all terrible games" and Gabbert was "great."
The two best games by a QB for the 49ers were against the Giants and Ravens. Over 107 and 128 QB Rating. Which are great numbers. But the media still acted like Kaep was playing terrible. In the Giants game, he lead a go ahead touchdown drive inside the two minute warning, and the defense blew it. But to the media, it was all Kaepernick's fault.
Thank's, Jed!
I’m just very happy that the 49ers decided Kaep was the way to go and traded Alex Smith to Kansas City.
Go Chiefs!
