Criticized QB Colin Kaepernick to start Sunday for 49ers

Colin Kaepernick will be back at the controls of the 49ers' offense this Sunday as head coach Chip Kelly has pegged the oft-talked about quarterback to breath some life into the San Francisco offense. Blaine Gabbert previously started at QB for the 49ers, throwing for just four touchdowns and six interceptions, while posting an average passer rating of 65.1. Kelly said that the move had nothing to do with Kaepernick's soon-to-be altered contract status, which should negate some of the balky injury guarantees in his previous long-term deal.
