Maybe they'll play him in and use the extended rest afterwards to recoup.

The following was just posted by Anthony Davis...

Trent, Call Me.

That's it. And I highly doubt he means Trent Brown. Stupid.

Anthony Davis needs to STFU he quit on the team twice making me so very happy the Niners trade up and took him over Earl Thomas. Douchebag just neefs to eat a bag of dicks and choke on them.

Jason La Canfora:

Mounting frustration in the 49ers locker room about state of Kelly's offense, I'm told. He's gonna have a hard time selling Gabbert now

FOURTH-ROUND PICK RASHARD ROBINSON A BRIGHT SPOT ON 49ERS’ DEFENSE

https://www.profootballfocus.com/pro-rashard-robinson/

Over the first three weeks of the season, he played just 45 snaps, but didn’t allow a single catch on those plays, and was targeted only once.

Robinson has started at cornerback for the 49ers the past two weeks, and has risen his play even more. Against Dallas and Arizona, he was targeted a combined eight times, but allowed only four catches for 31 yards. He broke up three of the four incompletions.

Why the Phoenix Suns are statistically tracking player high fives

Incredible. And I'm somebody that loves metrics and tracking all sorts of things but up to a point.

So players that like each other play better with each other? Who would've thought that! Good thing we had people with degrees figure that out for us.

Maybe not a certainty that Kap is going to start but if the timing of restructuring the contract would suggest they are at least strongly considering putting Kap in there.

Not to completely excuse Chip Kelly from fault but bad players are bad players and sometimes no amount of coaching and scheme is going to fix that. Some people are acting like if we had Bill Walsh the team would be 5-0 right now.

It's not like Kelly is taking Gabbert aside and saying "Hey when you see a guy open deep make sure you throw it 5 yards over his head so he can't catch it."

And I'm not even close to suggesting Chip Kelly is the next Bill Walsh but hey Walsh went 2-14 his 1st year and 6-10 his second. So I guess Walsh in his 1st year was a terrible coach with a broken offensive system because he couldn't adapt it to his personnel.

Kelly may very well end up being a bust as the HC but 5 games into his first year is waaaay too soon to be saying that especially with a roster that is mostly garbage.

SOURCES: PONDER HAS SUPPORT IN LOCKER ROOM

http://www.csnbayarea.com/49ers/sources-ponder-has-support-locker-room/

I'm sure he's had support from the get go but if this is the start of something more than lukewarm team support, it sort of feels like the same kind of situation they found themselves in with Blaine Gabbert last year when players began to rally around him. Similar work ethics, similar personalities, similar leadership traits, etc.. At least to me.

A couple more thoughts.

This brings almost the exact same ceiling that Gabbert gave you, too. IMO. One of the only extra things this does for you if you're the coach or an assistant coach is it gives in to any player calls that you're willing to try something different and not keep ramming your head into the same brick walls.

Unfortunately, it's like I keep saying over and over. If you play Gabbert, the negatives will be like having an awful pain in your arm. If you play Kaepernick, the negatives will be like having an awful pain in your side. If you turn to Ponder for some reason, the negatives will be like having an awful pain in your eye.

It just depends on your pain preference and if you're ready for a different kind of pain for a while.

I can't begin to have an accurate picture of the majority of the positives or negatives each guy gives you but if it's Kaepernick's time again, the most concerning part about all of that other than the injury stuff is his inability almost since day one to take a group of guys and be the ultimate unifying personality and constant of a group despite what your shortcomings are on the field. This is where Gabbert and maybe to a slightly larger extent, Ponder kind of makes up for their shortcomings.

I'm not one of those guys that thinks Kaepernick doesn't work hard. I think at least until he got hurt he always worked hard (plenty of instances of that). I just don't know how smart he works. The types of things he does in close concert with the things he lacks as a passer. That's always been one of my biggest concerns wanting to put up with him over a long term time period, especially since all this garbage happened.

If that's always going to be there with him, and at this point I think it's safe to say he's not changing or just plain can't anymore, I'd rather not even try lining up everything else around him just to see if he can be passable even in a Kelly scheme. On the other hand, if the demand by the players is so high that you have to try something different or else you start to lose your key guys, you may have to take on the different pain for a while and hopefully reset everything at the end of the year (where there may only be one long term hope available AT MOST IMO). If I didn't think so highly of Kelly I probably wouldn't worry about the coach losing anybody but right now, until the FO structure is better, Kelly is about as good of a coach as this structure and owner is going to get IMO.
