Integrity28 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Quote Christian Ponder - QB - 49ers CSN Bay Area's Matt Maiocco reports there is "some support" in the 49ers' locker room for Christian Ponder to take over at quarterback. It sounds like Colin Kaepernick isn't showing well on the practice field, and the 49ers' players are obviously and understandably souring on Blaine Gabbert, who has been horrific through five games. After Thursday night's loss to the Cardinals, coach Chip Kelly was noncommittal on sticking with Gabbert under center. "Ponder is the best option for quarterback on the roster," said one locker-room source. Another player "questioned Kaepernick's commitment" to football as he pursues civil-right ventures. One source told Maiocco that Ponder has been "more consistent" than Kaepernick in practices. So Kaep couldn't beat Gabbert, and now may lose out to Ponder. I honestly didn't realize either of those guys was in the league still... I guess this means we can trade for Kaep now, right? Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UntouchableCrew Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I get the impression Kaep basically can't play at all since becoming vegan -- he's lost so much muscle mass that he doesn't have the athleticism or strength he used to and he's never been particularly adept at reading defenses. I don't think he's long for the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetFreak89 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 49ers close to restructuring Kaep...aka taking away next years injury guarantee probably so that they can start him without worrying about being on the hook in case of injury. Kaep knows this is the only way he gets to play this year and not sit out like RG3 last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it has everything to do with him not being good at playing the QB position, and now that teams have tape on him, they can game plan for his terribleness.

No way Ponder should be starting over him Nope. Quote Colin Kaepernick - QB - 49ers Bleacher Report's Jason Cole reports Colin Kaepernick will be the 49ers' starting quarterback in Week 6 at Buffalo. Bleacher Report seems to be a tea-leaving outlet when it comes to NFL reporting, but this is certainly the way the leaves are blowing. The 49ers are working on a new two-year contract with Kaepernick that removes the injury guarantees from his deal, which suggests he will be on the field very soon. Kaepernick has reportedly been outplayed by Blaine Gabbert and Christian Ponder in practice, so the 49ers are apparently hoping he is more of a "gamer" than practice quarterback. He won't be worth streamer consideration against a so-far rejuvenated Bills defense at The Ralph. Forward thinkers may want to pick up Buffalo's fantasy D/ST ahead of Week 6. Looks like is a financial thing, not a politics or race thing. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying while he has already been exposed for not being good, he's lost significant muscle mass to the point where he doesn't even have his physical gifts.

I'm saying that's likely got nothing to do with it. It's got more to do with him never having been good at being a QB, and having only found success being an athlete, but the league is full of people whose job it is to out-athlete him and out coach his limitations. Only way he's losing muscle mass from being vegan, is if he's eating like crap. Not because he's not eating meat. Doesn't matter though, he sucks, and he's going to start and it's going to be a spectacle. So, enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disputes that he's a terrible QB? Or that he lost muscle mass? I just said, if he did, it's not because he's eating vegan, it's because he's eating vegan the wrong way for an athlete. I don't care though. I'm just excited that there are still a couple teams more embarrassing than the Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
