Chip Kelly on 49ers' QB situation: 'We're going to look at everything'

Oke News-After Thursday night's loss to the Arizona Cardinals, San Francisco 49ers coach Chip Kelly said he plans to examine "everything" in the coming days, including the potential for a change at quarterback from Blaine Gabbert to Colin Kaepernick.

"I don't think anybody played well on offense," Kelly said. "Nobody did."

The coach has stood by Gabbert as his starter for the first five weeks, but Kelly will put the quarterback position under the microscope in the next 10 days before the 49ers' game at Buffalo.

"I think we're going to look at everything," Kelly said. "We are 1-4, we have got to make sure we're going out there and giving us the best chance to win so we're going to look at everything."

Kelly said Gabbert played his best game of the season last week against Dallas, but Kelly didn't have a similar opinion of Gabbert's performance in Thursday night's 33-21 loss. Gabbert finished 18-of-31 for 162 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions for a QBR of 47.9 and a passer rating of 56.1. Gabbert also absorbed seven sacks.

"It's extremely frustrating," Gabbert said. "I let this team and this organization down tonight and did not play good whatsoever, and that's on me. I had two crucial turnovers there that led to points for the Cardinals and that was the difference in the game right there. I got to do a better job protecting the football and leading this team to scoring more points and winning games."

Late in the third quarter, with cornerback Chris Davis being tended to with a knee injury, a large group of 49ers fans began loudly chanting, "We want Kap." Former 49ers tackle Anthony Davis even took to Twitter to advocate a change to Kaepernick.

Kaepernick changed and quickly departed the Niners' locker room after the loss. He did not speak to reporters, but Gabbert was standing a few feet away in the auditorium where Kelly was answering questions about his job security.

Gabbert said he understood why Kelly would want to evaluate the position before the team's Oct. 16 game in Buffalo.

"Yeah, I've got to play better," Gabbert said. "There's no question to that. I've got to do a better job leading this football team, executing this offense, scoring points, winning games, the whole nine yards. That's just the way it goes. I've got to play better."
