SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- The San Francisco 49ers are putting their future back into Colin Kaepernicks hands.Coach Chip Kelly announced the decision Tuesday to bench Blaine Gabbert and to give back the starting job that Kaepernick lost midway through last season. Kaepernick has only played briefly in the opener but has generated attention with his refusal to stand for the national anthem as a form of protest.We were very analytical and sat down as a staff and watched tape and went over everything, said Kelly. Weve had a couple days to digest everything where we are. I think offensively, we just need to be better and we just need to make a move.Gabbert has struggled this season for San Francisco (1-4). He is last in the NFL in yards per attempt (5.9) and has the second-worst passer rating (69.6) in the league.Its not Blaines fault, said Kelly. I think as a group, offensively we need to be better in a lot of ways. So were going to see what we can do and make a move here. Its really one of the only maneuvers we can make based on our depth.Kelly said Kaepernicks ongoing protest had no bearing on his decision.After leading the Niners to the Super Bowl following the 2012 season and the NFC title game the following year, Kaepernick has struggled. He lost his job to Gabbert midway through last season and then had three operations that limited his work in the offseason.Im reeady to play, Kaepernick said Tuesday.dddddddddddd Its been about a year since live-game action. So Im itching to get back out there.Kaepernick said looking at the offense, theres just small things here and there that we need to clean up, we need to correct, as a whole.Hopefully those are things that we progress on this week and show Sunday, he said.Kaepernick confirmed there have been discussions with the team about restructuring his six-year contract extension, but he said he feels no pressure to get the deal done before Sundays game.The 49ers have lost consecutive home games to the Cowboys and Cardinals while both teams started backup quarterbacks the last two weeks. Gabbert threw three interceptions and two touchdown passes combined.He shouldered the responsibility for the most recent loss to Arizona on Thursday, when two of his interception on the 49ers side of the field led to 10 points for the Cardinals.Gabbert expressed his displeasure with the demotion Tuesday.I dont like it, he said. I dont like not playing. Im very forward about that. But at the same time, Im going to come into work the same way Ive always come into work the three years that Ive been here.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
