Kaepernick, Blaine Gabbert mediocre in 49ers tuneup

The quarterback controversy, if you could call it that now, in San Francisco finally saw Blaine Gabbert and Colin Kaepernick on the same playing field Friday night against the Packers. Unfortunately for Chip Kelly and Co., they'll be hard-pressed to find something positive to take from either signal-caller's showing.

Gabbert led the Niners to one three-and-out and one touchdown drive in one quarter of play. Gabbert ran for 15 yards on designed runs and broken plays and tossed a backward touchdown pass to wide receiver Quinton Patton, which technically counted as a run.
