trade Gabbert instead of Kap

[maniax]

Anyone up for trading Gabbert instead?

Gabbert's value is at a high right now, plus he has a friendly 1 year left at $2M so any team trading for him would not balk at the salary, plus Gabbert is healthy.

Kap's value is at an all time low. He got demoted/injured, had surgery on his arm, plus any team trading for him would want to renegotiate his salary and Kap could say "screw off" and nix the deal in which case we would have to just cut him April 1st.

If you could get a 4th for Gabbert or a 7th for Kap, why not trade Gabbert?


I would be ok going back to Kap, and getting him a good QB coach. I've been reading that the main difference between Kap and Gabbert is Gabbert is willing to check down while Kap is always looking for more, maybe looking for too much.

Because at this point, Gabbert is a better player. At this point, Gabbert is a great stop gap...a guy who can bridge the gap to the next one. I'll take a 7th for Kaepernick since I doubt we'll get anything period for the guy.

Forget about hanging on to memories...cut the cord and be done with. Get the next QB of the future, let him sit behind Gabbert in '16 and then set him free.

Is Gabbert's trade value even higher? I don't really think so.

Not a good idea. Why get another mid round pick to be squandered. The team has enough picks. The team is prepared to move on from Kap. Gabbert's low cost contract opens up cap space and the newly drafted QB will be on a rookie contract.

No way. Gabbert is cheap and effective.

You gotta think that Gabbert will hold out. Even a mediocre starting QB is way underpaid at $2.25 M. His contract was based on being the second string QB.

Kaepernick has no say over a trade (I don't think his team-friendly contract was offset by a no trade clause.). We could trade him anywhere we wanted to that had enough interest and all he could do is holdout for the new team or not pass a physical.

As for not trading Gabbert for a good pick because we'd squander it, if we did trade Gabbert, we could package what we get from him for higher draft pick for a quarterback.

As for him holding out, I hope he would do it after we draft a QB. That would give the leverage back to us.

Gabbert doesn't have much trade value right now. The best we would get for him is like a 6th or 7th rd pick. I rather just keep him.

I think Kap goes to Philly or Jets. Browns outside chance. We get like a 4th rd pick back.

If we can trade him, I would like to Kelly to still be there because that would probably lead to bigger draft pick compensation. But if we can't trade him and we cut him, I don't want him to go there because it still in our conference, not that we could stop him.

LOL! he's the only serviceable QB we have.

Trade both as a package deal to KC. I'm sure Kaepernick, Smith, and Gabbert would love that. Honestly, depending on what compensation you could get, trading both would not be a problem if they were going to draft one of the better quarterback's and/or get a veteran quarterback that could lead us.

Hell no!! Time to move on from Kap. Let's not live in the past.

I think teams will just wait for the Niners to release Kap. Why give a draft pick if you can sign him through free agency.

and bring back Smith in the trade? 305 passes without an int. and on pace to be second of all time today.Just saying. Anyway, keep Gabbert until a viable vet is available. No standout QBs in the draft so we groom a diamond in the rough for the future and possibly finally get a franchise QB after decades of failure.

Agree 100 percent.

That is why we need more than one team VERY interested in Kaep. No one is going to give up a high pick no matter, but maybe we can get a mid rounder?

Is everyone still so high on Gabbert after today?

Today he got the Kap version of the O-line.

Why the hell would we want to go back to Kaepernick?
