The San Francisco 49ers coaching staff made a big move on Monday, reportedly benching Colin Kaepernick and inserting Blaine Gabbert as the starting quarterback. The team is going through class-room work and beginning preparations for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons, which means Gabbert is likely going to be speaking to the media on Wednesday in Kaepernick's normal slot.
The move is not surprising given Kaepernick's struggles. Aside from a decent performance against the New York Giants, and a solid performance against the Baltimore Ravens, he has been a bad quarterback this season. Blame can be placed on a lot of shoulders.
