Gabbert's YPA was higher than Kaepernick's, 7.2 to 6.6
And most people who don't want Kaep aren't saying Gabbert should be the guy either, that's not my case. I`ll take Gabbert over Kaep, but we need to find the real QB of the future and i do not see Gabbert as that guy, maybe w/ Kelly that could change, but as of what i saw in 2015 he is not that dude to build a team around
Cutting bait on Gabbert makes no sense though, he is at a very low rate for a QB, he's showed he can play in the league at a decent level and would be the vet to mentor a drafted QB. Also, Chip made Sanchez and Foles look good so i`m sure Gabbert will improve with him
OH....so you wanna talk stats
Blaine Gabbert was 2nd in the NFL in failed completions; 35% of his passes were failed compeltions.

But Blaine Gabbert had a higher YPA than Kaepernick.
When the Niners managed to win games, they averaged more ppg when Kaepernick was the starting QB than when Gabbert was (22.5 to 20.6) meaning the offense was better in wins with Kaepernick than with Gabbert;
Buuuuut Blaine Gabbert had a higher YPA than Kaepernick.
In their wins, Kaepernick averaged a better completion percentage than Gabbert at 65.6% to 60.0% and also had a higher YPA than Gabbert at 9.5 to 7.3.
Buuuuuuuuuut Blaine Gabbert had a higher YPA than Kaepernick
Let's talk about Yards per completion; Where as YPA is basically the number of yards divided by the number of attempts, YPC will show us per completion how many yards on average the passes were going. Care to guess what this stat will show us?
Overall, the YPC for both was about the same (11.4 for Gabbert and 11.2 for Kaepernick), but in the wins, Kaepernick's YPA was 15.3; Gabbert's was 12.4
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuut...Blaine Gabbert had a higher YPA than Kaepernick.
Blaine Gabbert had a Quarterback Rating over 100
ONE TIME this season. Kaepernick had 3.
Let's look at the overall offense.
In his 2 wins, the offense under Kaepernick averaged 6.4 yards per play, averaged 60.5 plays per game, averaged 393 yards per game, averaged .5 turnovers per game, averaged 20 first downs per game and averaged 147.5 yards rushing per game.
In his 3 wins, the offense under Gabbert averaged 5.3 yards per play, averaged 67 plays per game, averaged 355.7 yards per game, averaged 1 turnover per game, averaged 17.3 first downs per game, and averaged 120.7 yards rushing per game.
(Keep in mind these numbers include an OT game with the Rams where the offense gained 458 yards of total offense. Even with that boost, Blaine's numbers don't compare with Kaepernicks).
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut...Blaine Gabbert had a higher YPA than Kaepernick.
Also, for good measure, earlier you mentioned how the defense used to carry Kaepernick to wins, and how too many times you saw Kaepernick throw for under 200 yards and the defense would bail the niners out with the win...
2 of the 3 wins Blaine Gabbert had, he threw under 200 yards.
Next time, know your shyt before you talk it.
