Can Chip Kelly Revive Colin Kaepernick's Career?

After struggling last season, Colin Kaepnernick looks to turn it around with Chip Kelly at the helm

When Colin Kaepernick was placed on IR by the San Francisco 49ers in November, it looked like the end of the former Nevada quarterback's time in San Francisco. Just two seasons removed from a Super Bowl appearance, Kaepernick was sent to the bench in week 9 in favor of Blaine Gabbert because of supposed struggles. But was he really bad?

Technically, the correct answer is: Yes, he was bad. He ranked 30th and 31st of 34 qualified quarterbacks in completion percentage and passer rating, respectively.
