These are the grades for the 49ers’ 11th loss in a row – a 26-6 loss to the Chicago Bears.
QUARTERBACKS: Z-minus. Five hours before kickoff, Ian Rapoport tweeted Colin Kaepernick would opt out of his contract next year, presumably to take advantage of his rising stock after some said he played well the past four games. Kaepernick might want to rethink that decision. Today, he completed one pass for five yards and got benched in the fourth quarter. Opting out would do the 49ers a favor. His replacement, Blaine Gabbert, surpassed his predecessor’s production with his first throw – an 18-yard completion to Jeremy Kerley.
