Time to Change QB

[purguy12]

Chip Kelly, staff to look at everything next few days

Thats a great sign for a switch. Everyone in the football world knows 49ers have better options and its time to make that change. Both QBs Ponder and Kap have now been in the system long enough to take over. Gabbert is just not a good QB and like the stats say he is the worst in the league. I said this before I never saw a worse QB before. Ryan Leaf was better then Gabbert(Leaf better talent, mental part no)

LOL Gabbert is 9-31 winning % of .225. LOL Only Qb worse then him was Steve Deberg 8-32 (.200)

funny stat last night:

At end of first quarter, the 49ers and Cardinals have combined for more punts (6) than completions (5).

Nothing to lose. Niners are on their way to a top three pick. Hopefully first pick so they can draft a QB. Defense has struggled the last four games allowing over 100 yards rushing. I see the Niners losing to the Bills, Bucs and the Cardinals before the bye week. That will leave them 1-7.

They get tired because of all the 3 and outs the offense is putting up. 49ers lead the league in 3 and outs. D played a good 1st half until the end because of Int. Their Rush Defense is bad. Im a little shocked that the Front 3 or 4 isnt playing better but against we have No MLBs.

I hope we get top 3 pick and wouldnt mind the #1 pick. Hopefully baalke is gone so he isnt making that #1 pick.

I agree 100%. I hope Jed cans his bony ass out of there. Tired of his unproductive picks. Defense did play well in the first half, but they got tired and started to miss tackles. Just wished Niner drafted Prescott in the 4th instead of Rashard Robinson.

I hope we have a new GM to pick one. It is looking more likely that might happen with the way this season is going. Someone is going to take the fall and it won't be Kelly or York.

I hear you but I think Robinson is going to be a good one. He is the kind of CB 49ers have been waiting for. I also see the reasoning behind Prescott. I really thought they were going to. Another option was instead of trading up for Garrett we could of traded up and draft Lynch who looked ok in his 1st game. Instead we draft a guard who cant find playing time in the 1st rd. I like garrett and think he will be fine but QB was a major need. Oline was to I understand.

Rumblings in the locker room that they want Ponder. Im ok with that. Lets see what he can do. Thats all i been asking for. Make a change. For better or worse. Gabbert has his shot and he did nothing to be the starter. Next up.

please post where you read this.

i'm fine with a change at QB, whether it is Kaep or Ponder. But as long as we fans understand, it isn't that easy to switch around. there are other offensive players who're 'adjusting' to the QB. So whomever that will be, we'll just live with it for how many games.

Oh here you go. there are a couple.

Maiocco: "Blaine Gabbert? Colin Kaepernick? Sources say there’s support in 49ers locker room for Ponder.

Sources: Ponder has support in 49ers locker room

49ers Players Want Christian Ponder As Starter?

U give the next guy 3 games. game 1 would be 10 days away so that should get him enough time to prepare against who he is playing. Maybe in this case u give 2 if he really looks bad because then we have a buy week to put the next guy in. Overall 3 games should tell us enough.

Soooo a rumour goin' round that there is support by some players for Ponder? Turn to the third/inactive guy instead of Kaepernick huh? If true, it's yet another example as to how little #7 is viewed throughout the league as a player.

By all means....put in Ponder. Let him play/suck until you can't stand it anymore.....and then turn it right back to Gabbert. That's how this season should be played out....not another snap for Kraep.

Don't take this as support for Kaep because that ship has sailed in my mind...but, if they opt for Ponder over Kaep, they really should just release Kaep...no reason to have him on the roster.

Thanks

Ok, so depends who that "locker room source" was? If it was a player, then i'm more inclined to believe it.

I believe SF were just trying to hold onto him hoping some team would need to deal for somebody due to injury. I agree that I wish SF woulda just cut him.

MAYBE Baalke still thinks there is trade value in Kaep? Ok, not likely but that is the only reason i could think of.

You can't have value unless you play him and he proves to have value. So again, not likely.

Bottom line, play the QB who give you the best chance to win. If....IF most of the players are behind Ponder, that says a lot right there.

Says a WHOLE lot...Kaep is done in this league...he has no value, whatever he did have went down the drain with his protest...not so much the protest itself, but the distraction away from the job.

Well Kap just re did his deal. Took injury clause out. Proof that it was front office not playing Kap and making the change.

Looks like Kap will start next game after this deal.
