Niners win, but it was kind of sketchy

Blaine Gabbert is the new starting quarterback.  Just watching the game against the falcons revealed a lot.  

The first thing that popped out was the lack of pressure that got to Gabbert.  I was really racking my brain on how the offensive line was able to easily protect Gabbert, but they could not do the same for Kap.

The second thing that jumped out was the how easy Gabbert was able to complete passes to completely wide open tight ends in the red zone.  It looked like Atlanta decided not to cover 2 tight ends in the red zone.  

Gabbert got sacked on a blitz, but he looked really great overall for the day.  I did notice that when Kap came in, he hit his receiver with ball and he dropped it.  Gabbert should have had better numbers, but he also go some drops from the receivers.

The niners made sure to keep Gabbert in the game even after that massive hit.  Kap came in and they immediately went to commercial to get him out of the game.  It seems like he is getting the RGIII on his way out of town.

It will be interesting to see if they start Gabbert against the Seattle Seahawks defense.  Will they let him get beat up or will they put Kap back in to take that punishment and solidify the decision to move on to Gabbert.  

Just listening to the radio and reading some of the football websites makes me come away with the feeling like Kap is going to take the blame for this season. 

I just hope he gets a chance to start again with another team.  With some quarterbacks , they don't get another option after being removed as a starter.  

After seeing all the stuff play out over the last couple of years, I am finally coming to the conclusion that it is not worth it to be invested in these football games anymore.
