Kap or Gabbert - Does it really matter with a bad offensive line?

The 49ers offense has been horrible.  Did you really expect anything different?  Now, all the talk is about benching quarterback Colin Kaepernick.  You can turn on any talk show or pull up any website and see everybody saying that he needs to be benched.  He is not playing great, but all the commentators are ignoring the big elephant in the room....The offensive line.  They are not blocking and people are just looking right past this important part of the offensive game plan.

Colin is not delivering the ball to the right receivers at the right time.  He is playing the quarterback position under duress every down.  The defenders are piling into the box before the snap  on just about every play.  They know the weakness on the offensive line and they don't even feel threatened about showing that they are coming.  

The niners organization seems to not care about the current starting quarterback.  You don't hear them talking about bringing in new offensive lineman.  You don't even hear them talking about shuffling any line players around.  They are trying out other position players, but it doesn't really matter.  The niners org should be concerned about letting their starting qb take the number of sacks that he is getting from week to week.  

There has been a lot of change during the offseason and now it seems like all the blame is landing on the shoulders of number 7.  It will be really interesting to see if they pull the plug on Kaepernick starting and turn the ball over to Gabbert.  The real kicker would seeing them change the offensive line after sitting down Kap.  I hope that Kap can do something to turn this around, but it just seems like the media campaign and the poor blocking up front are going to be hard to contain.  It is also funny that I cannot remember a time during the Alex Smith years that they ever talked about benching him, cutting him or trading him and he was a complete disaster.  It just goes to show how quick the tide can change in the nfl.  Kap took the niners to a superbowl and now they are talking about taking the starting qb job.  Wow.  Kap really needs to focus and make every pass count in the coming weeks.
