7 facts that explain why Colin Kaepernick was just benched for Blaine Gabbert, nov 2015. https://ftw.usatoday.com/2015/11/7-facts-that-explain-why-colin-kaepernick-was-just-benched-for-blaine-gabbert

The San Francisco 49ers benched quarterback Colin Kaepernick on Monday amid a 2-6 season. Confirming their commitment to this death spiral, the 49ers named Blaine Gabbert as Kaepernick’s replacement. Gabbert might be the worst quarterback employed by an NFL team at this juncture. Why then would San Francisco turn to his services? Consider these facts …

  1. Kaepernick started his 49ers’ career with a 19-7 record as a starter from 2012-2013. Since that time, he’s 10-14.

  2. He’s on pace for career lows in pretty much every major stat category. Through San Francisco’s first eight games, Kaepernick is on pace to throw 12 touchdowns, 10 interceptions, get sacked 56 times, and have a quarterback rating of 78.8% – all career worsts.

  3. The 49ers haven’t scored a touchdown in two games.

  4. The 49ers would pay Kaepernick $16.7 million in 2016. But, if San Francisco cuts him before April 1, they would end up saving $6.9 million.

  5. In 2013, Kaepernick averaged 1.3 touchdowns per game against 0.5 interceptions. In 2015, he’s averaging 0.75 touchdowns per game against 0.625 interceptions.

  6. From 2012-2013, Kaepernick rushed for nine touchdowns. He’s rushed for two touchdowns since.
