The San Francisco 49ers defense, a unit allowing 5.1 yards per carry and 31.4 points per game, is also not doing quarterback Colin Kaepernick any favors, having fallen behind early in three of their last four games.
While head coach Chip Kelly has proven to be a better offensive mind than Geep Chryst, last season’s offensive coordinator, Kelly’s offense is not built to play from behind, and Kaepernick is not a quarterback that succeeds throwing the ball 30 plus times a game.
His mechanics, accuracy, touch and ability to read a defense are average at best by today’s quarterback standards.
