I’m all for authenticity and intention and originally Kaepernick was meant to be the starter, but Kaepernick wanted out of San Francisco.

McCoy said his plan to bring the police officers wasn’t a direct response to Kaepernick’s kneeling protests.

“He gives Chip [Kelly] a Marcus Mariota-type playmaker”, the scout added. He led San Francisco to Super Bowl XLVII, where they lost to Baltimore.
Ryan has no intention of the Bills losing their focus even though he believes standing for the anthem pays respect to members of the armed forces.
“We live in a society where there are no secrets”, Kelly said Thursday (via CSN Bay Area). “We’re not that good”. Blaine can run and do what we are doing offensively.
That didn’t change this week when Kelly made the surprising decision to announce a quarterback change on Tuesday (more on that here).
Little has gone right for the 49ers since a 28-0 season-opening rout of an undisciplined Los Angeles Rams opponent.
San Fransisco has struggled mightily throwing the ball with Blaine Gabbert who averaged just 170 yards per game.
Last season the Washington Redskins would not play Robert Griffin III for fear that he could get hurt and the team would be on the hook for his contract the next year. His production has tailed off since, with injuries playing a factor.
Offseason shoulder, thumb and knee surgeries prevented Kaepernick from competing for job in the preseason. Kaepernick is set to start for the first time this year on Sunday against the Bills.
As they get ready to try and procure a fourth-straight victory, there’s a bit of a different feel to this game.
That takes a commitment Gabbert was willing to make and that Kaepernick will now have to show if he wants to stay on the field for long.
The stakes have raised for Kaepernick over the rest of this season.
“Hopefully, you’ll see both of those guys depending on how it goes”, Kelly said.
“Regardless of my play, this movement is going to be legitimate. It’s a tough situation and coach Kelly had to make a call”. Asked on Tuesday if he felt any pressure to have a reworked contract before he started Sunday, Kaepernick said, “No, I feel no pressure”. Again, a trait we haven’t seen since his OR days.
In addition to welcoming officers to the Bill’s game, the running back briefly mentioned that his foundation Shades of Greatness will welcome inner city youth, too.
Under new offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn, the Bills have rejuvenated the rushing attack that led the National Football League last season.
Gabbert passed for 890 yards with five touchdowns and six interceptions in his five starts.
Modkins said Kapernick is similar enough to Gabbert that the 49ers won’t change their offense to suit the new quarterback.

If the deal is voided, San Francisco will save more than $14 million toward their salary cap next season, according to Spotrac.
