49ers fans call for Kaepernick as Cardin

Making personnel moves based on what the fans say usually isn't a good idea, but Chip Kelly might want to start listening to fans. During the second half of the 49ers' 33-21 lo s to the Cardinals on Thursday night, the fans made it clear what they want, and what they want is as their starting quarterback. For several minutes during the game, the fans were chanting for Kap."We want Samuel Girard Men Jersey Kaep" Anand Iyer (@ai) Unfortunately for the fans, Kelly didn't listen and he stuck with Gabbert until the bitter end, and unfortunately for Kelly, Gabbert didn't do much to prove that he deserves to be starting. In four quarters of action, Gabbert threw two interceptions -- and both were backbreakers. In each case, the got the ball inside the 49ers' 25-yard line. The Cardinals ended up scoring a total of 10 points off of Gabbert's picks, which was huge number because this was a 21-14 game going into the fourth quarter. Kelly will likely defend Gabbert by pointing out that one of the interceptions came on a batted ball and by also pointing out that receivers were dropping pa ses, but the truth is, Gabbert just wasn't good.Blaine Gabbert's pa s is tipped...And PICKED by !: : NFL (@NFL) It wasn't completely Gabbert's fault that the 49ers lost -- San Francisco fumbled a kickoff return that led to a Cards touchdown -- but Gabbert's play definitely didn't help things. The 49ers quarterback was regularly overthrowing his receivers, including a throw at the end of the first quarter where he had wide open for what could've been a 70-yard touchdown pa s, or a 40-yard gain. However, Gabbert overthrew his receiver by a good five yards. In a conversation with CBS sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson, Kelly made it clear that he has no plans to bench Gabbert, which basically echoed the comments he made last week. "If you ask me where he is, he's not where he was in 2013," Kelly said of Kaepernick on Sept. 28. "That's the only thing I'm pointing out. So, he's not 100 percent back from the recovery standpoint. He's 100 percent healed from those injuries. So, that allows him to play in the game, but is he the same player that he was when he was running 4.5 and throwing the ball all over the place? He's not that guy right now because he's not where he was physically. You can just look at him physically. He's not the same guy right now." At Alexei Emelin Women Jersey some point, it only makes sense to give Kaepernick a shot because you know what you have with Gabbert, and what you have with Gabbert is a quarterback who was 8-27 as a starter going into 2016 and is 1-4 this year.Kelly might have finally realized that because he at least left the door slightly open for a quarterback change during his postgame interview following the 49ers lo s. "We're going to go and look at everything," Kelly said of making po sible change, . "We got a couple of days off, in terms of getting ready for Buffalo and we'll a se s the film." The way Kelly's talking, it's po sible that 49ers fans will soon get to see Kaepernick on the field instead of just on the sideline. Giving Kaepernick a shot now makes sense because that means he'd have 10 days to prepare for the 49ers next game. The more likely Craig Smith Men Jersey scenario though is that Kelly will stick with Gabbert, which is a decision that could come back and haunt the organization. Fans didn't really show up for Thursday's game, and as the team's record gets worse, so could their attendance numbers. The most exciting thing that happened at the game for 49ers fans might have been the fact that Ayesha Curry showed up.

Drew Stanton played exactly like Drew Stanton As bad as Gabbert was, Stanton might've been worse. The big difference though is that Stanton is a backup quarterback who was asked to start on three days notice. All the Cardinals wanted from their backup quarterback on Thursday was a turnover-free game, and that's exactly what they got. Although Stanton had atrocious numbers (11 of 28 for 124 yards), he made his completions count and he didn't throw an interception. Of Stanton's 11 completions, two went for touchdowns, including the 29-yard touchdown to that you can see below. Another one. to .Touchdown!: : NFL (@NFL) Besides throwing to Fitzgerald, Stanton was only asked to do one other thing: Hand the ball off to a lot. The good news for the Cardinals is that should be back for Week 6. 3. The 49ers couldn't stop David Johnson The Cardinals game plan against the 49ers was pretty simple: Get the ball to David Johnson as many times as po sible. Cards coach Bruce Arians stuck to that game plan for four quarters and it worked wonders in the win. Johnson carried the ball 27 times for 157 yards in the game, marking only the second time in his career that he's cro sed the 25-carry mark or the 100-yard mark. Johnson also scored two touchdowns against the 49ers, marking only the fourth time in his career that he's scored two or more touchdowns in a game.Feed .Get 6 points. Rinse & repeat. : Mattias Ekholm Women Jersey : NFL (@NFL) The 49ers had no answer for Johnson, who averaged a ridiculous 5.8 yards per carry.4. Larry Fitzgerald owns the 49ers Johnson wasn't the only Cardinals player who dominated the 49ers defense on Thursday. So did Larry Fitzgerald. Of course, that was nothing new because the 49ers can never stop Larry Fitzgerald. The Cardinals receiver caught two touchdowns against the 49ers, giving him 16 against them for his career. That's the second-most touchdowns that any player has ever scored against the 49ers.. to .TOO easy... 6 points!: : NFL (@NFL) If any team is hoping that Fitzgerald retires soon, it's San Francisco. Fitzgerald and Johnson were a big reason the Cardinals were able to come out of this game with a win. Basically, all Stanton had to figure out how to do on this short week was throw the ball to Fitzgerald and hand the ball off to Johnson. For the game, Stanton was only 5 of 20 for 43 yards when he wasn't targeting Fitzgerald. On throws that went toward the Cardinals star receiver, Stanton went 6 of 8 for 81 yards and two touchdowns. 5. Punters are people, too If you like watching punts, then hopefully you DVR'd Thursday night's game so you can watch it on an endle s loop for the rest of time. The two teams totaled 16 punts in the game, which is the third-highest total of any game in 2016 (Bengals-Steelers in Week 2, 49ers-Rams in Week 1 both had 17). At one point, this game looked like it was going to turn into the Super Bowl of punting.At end of first quarter, the 49ers and Cardinals have combined for more punts (6) than completions (5). John Breech (@johnbreech) The two teams had a total of 12 punts in the first half putting them on a pace for 24 in the game. Cardinals punter put on a show, pinning the 49ers inside their own 20 with six of his Scott Hartnell Women Jersey nine punts. Niners
