Who Replaced Blaine Gabbert?

Colin Kaepernick, who has spent his 2016 season drawing headlines for his social activism, is getting another opportunity to make an impact on the field. San Francisco 49ers coach Chip Kelly announced that Kaepernick will start over Blaine Gabbert against the Buffalo Bills in Week 6.

Did Blaine replace Kaepernick?

Blaine Gabbert took ownership of the 49ers starting quarterback job long before Chip Kelly's official blessing last weekend. It could trace back to November, when Gabbert replaced Colin Kaepernick at midseason.

Why was Kaepernick benched?

Kaepernick burned the 49ers last season after he injured his shoulder in the early part of the year and played through the injury until he was benched for poor play.
