The struggling San Francisco 49ers have benched the QB who led them to a Super Bowl season in 2012.
Colin Kaepernick has been benched for Sunday's game in favor of Blaine Gabbert, according to multiple news reports.
Kaepernick has struggled this season for the 49ers, who today also traded veteran tight end Vernon Davis.
The 49ers (2-6) face the Atlanta Falcons this Sunday. First-year head coach Jim Tomsula gave Kaepernick essentially a no-confidence vote while addressing the media today. Tomsula said the 49ers were evaluating every position, including their starting quarterback.
