Kaepernick to miss rest of National Football League season

The quarterback gig belongs to Blaine Gabbert now, with Colin Kaepernick on injured reserve, though no one associated with the San Francisco 49ers is about to anoint Gabbert as the guy beyond the January 3 season finale. Kaepernick suffered the injury in an October 4 game against the Green Bay Packers. Barrows reported a 49ers spokesman said a team doctor examined Kaepernick, and the injury was “not believed to be significant but that it should be monitored”. Why the 49ers signed Travaris Cadet and keep Jarryd Hayne on the practice squad is baffling?

Kaepernick started the 49ers’ first eight games but was replaced by Gabbert in the most recent outing, a 17-16 win over the Falcons. With a mediocre record, the 49ers might choose to invest a high draft pick in a young talent rather than move forward with the expensive and unpredictable Kaepernick. Kaepernick’s $11.9 million base salary will only be guaranteed for the 2016 season if he remains on the roster on April 1.

Baalke said he expects Kaepernick to go through offseason recovery with the team and said any belief the former starter’s stint with the 49ers was over was unfounded.

He was a full participant Wednesday through Friday and was listed as probable to play Sunday against the Seahawks.

“They’re in agreement. This is not a “he-said, she-said” situation”, Baalke said.

Before the injury that landed him on the IR, Kaepernick’s performance was already declining with the team also struggling to win this 2015 season.

CenturyLink Stadium has been a madhouse for 49ers quarterbacks as they’ve combined for a 59.2 passer rating and thrown three times as many interceptions as touchdown passes there in the last five years.

The 49ers are agreed with Colin Kaepernick’s decided on surgery. His confidence, his swagger, and his ability to make plays with both his arms and his legs helped propel San Francisco to the top of the league.

Kaepernick’s future with the 49ers is in question.

Shaun Draughn got all the true carries (12 for 37 yards), and he didn’t break any beyond 10 yards.

“If the 49ers decide to part ways with Kaepernick after the 2015 season, it won’t cost much thanks to Kaepernick’s team-friendly contract”. Asked Monday to explain why his defense appeared totally overmatched by a very average Seattle offense that was missing its best player, Tomsula insisted it was because his players were overly excited about the “big” game and played tentatively.
