SANTA CLARA – The 49ers are winless in Colin Kaepernick’s five starts, but coach Chip Kelly does not appear to be considering any change.
Kelly was asked after the 49ers’ 30-17 loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday if Kaepernick is the team’s starting quarterback for the duration.
“Yeah, unless, we’re always evaluating every week,” Kelly said. “But I don’t think Colin played poor today.”
Kaepernick completed 16 of 30 passes for 206 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions on a rainy day at Levi’s Stadium. His passer rating was 97.4. Kaepernick also gained 32 yards rushing on four attempts.
