wasn't at full strength with all the surgeries so he's rebuilding his strength, his size. he lost like 20 pounds so chip kell he to make a choice, and i think he knew all along it would be blaine back ge-- blaine gabbert. wanted to see what kaepernick had because he took the team to three title games and a super bowl. i think gabbert will be the guy until further notice. >> there's been some speculation that we might perhaps see kap tonight, a specia package of plays. >> right. >> to take advantage of his strength which is the read option. do you think we'll see kap or is that the next step to a prolonged quarterback controversy? >> it could be a little bit of both, that's a good point, but if you want to get kap some reps, that's what you do, have a specified package for him. get him some turns and reps in an actual game to get him comfortable in case he does have to play if blaine gabbert gets hurt. smart thing on chip kelly if he does do that, and i think we might see kap in a limited capacity that way. >> some people are thinking, you

know, given the contract situation with 14 million on the table if kap gets injured again. >> right. >> maybe you stash him aside. we'll see how it gets played out. for more on the quarterback situation we go live to levi stadium and rick joins us down on the field. >> hey, larry, hi, make. >> colin kaepernick has been getting most of the attention not to stand during the national anthem, blaine gabbert will be the starting quarterback when the 49ers open the season against the rams. that decision don't bother kaepernick. >> i have to wait my time and work. last time i was in this poigs ended up in a super bowl so i continue to work and prepare for for when that next opportunity comes. >> you work so hard all year round and such a small window to play 16, 20 games, and you've just got to take advantage and enjoy them because these opportunities don't come very often. few and far between. i know that being a starter not being a starter and now being a

starter again and you have to enjoy it and enjoy most of the opportunity. >> by coincidence both kaepernick and gabbert were drafted in the same 2011 class. jacksonville could gabbert with the first round pick while colin went in the second round so the chip kelly era begins tonight in levi stadium. this is rake guan, nbc 7 sports. >> now traffic with alexis smith. >> we've got the normal weekday commute to get through on top of the season opener for the 49ers so taking a live look from sky 7 right now. we're focusing on the parking lots which, of course, just opened up at 3:50 so everybody is getting set up and into position here. i did talk to the sky 7 crew. tasman drive is okay as is great american parkway. the surface streets are doing all right but a quick check of the traffic maps taking a look at the surrounding areas, southbound 101 congested and 280 and 85 also a little congested. some folks probably swinging a little wide tonight trying to avoid that game day traffic.

team apart and could really hurt the 49ers. several other players came back and said, he will, wait a second, this actually brought us together because we had to have a dialogue about this situation. what's your take on it? >> i appreciate it, trying to right a wrong but i think you need to take the american flag out of it, but right away you have to choose sides in the locker room with a situation like that. have you 55 players from all different backgrounds and you'll have different attitudes on it. we all have thoughts about issues, socially and politically, but it takes such a singular focus in the locker room to be successful in the nfl i don't think you need these kinds of distractions, yeah, four or five players brought it together and might have opened up dialogue and you can see as a team it can be divisive and for him being a backup quarterback, too, this was, quote, a bigger name than a starter, think it has more residue, but i think in the long run this can be a distraction if this keeps going throughout the season. >> that's an interesting point, because on espn, on their

pregame show tonight, they reported that kap said whatever they do tonight will be understate the. he didn't want to detract from the opening game and get the focus on him, and it's interesting how this was playing out in different parts of the country in different ways, because i just saw a tweet that brandon marshall of the broncos is supporting kap and he just lost his second sponsorship show in denver it plays a little differently than it does in the bay area which is a little bit more of a liberal area. one thing we know for sure, whatever the reaction will be tonight, especially a day after the anniversary of 9/11, everybody will be watching kap and the other players during the national anthem. >> now your accuweather forecast with sandhya >> a little bit of cloudiness in the north bay and east bay and winds gusting out of the southwest at 32 miles per hour and breezing around parts of the

fit best into his system and getting the players to buy in, and that's part of the problem with the division that could hurt him in terms of trying to get them to buy in. >> will up tempo work in the nfl like it did for college at oregon? >> it won't work as well because they have already figured it out because he's already been in the league three years. >> led the league three years and each year after that det deteriorated with the run game and that's pretty much what draws this offense. i think defenses have already figured it out. >> interesting to watch. >> right. >> shu and i will have much more in the pregame show coming up tonight at 7:00 and up like marylu henner who remembers everything for 30 years, can't even remember what we did in the last segment and we'll be there at 7:00, danned a kristen, do know that. >> we're not alone. >> it's newshimers. >> a prep today for a hillary clinton fund-raiser even though clinton won't be there. >> clinton cancelled her appearance following this

starting quarterback case keenum and shaun manningham. goff played in the preseason two touchdowns, two picks and lost two fumbles and carson wentz started for the eagles yesterday and looked great. threw a couple of touchdowns yesterday. did the rams take the wrong guy, dand that cal offense, which is a little gimmicky and works at the college level, did that take away from jerald goff's preparation for the nfl? >> i think mortgage latter. it took away from his preparation of taking snaps from underneath the center, and i think it's a process down there. jeff fisher, the head coach, knows he has to win this year, and he's going to go with a veteran quarterback over a young rookie like jarred goff. jarred was kind of thrown to the wolves at call as a freshman. >> 1 of 11 and took a beating and don't want to do that in the nfl because you can run a kid's career. not far enough aloaning and had to make a decision and decided to go with a veteran quarterback in case keenum instead and have him inactive is kind of interesting.

tells me that he's just not ready. >> if you're jeff fisher, thinking of all the pressure you're under, the number one overall pick, i think it speaks to his character as a coach saying i'm not going to ruin this kid. >> exactly. >> he'll eventually be the franchise. just not tonight and maybe not this season. >> and jarred understands it. it is a process and he understands that. probably a little bit shocked to be inactive in his first game being the number one overall pick but i think jeff fisher will nurse him along and bring him along slowly and not ruin his psyche because that is can happen quickly in the nfl. >> instead of goff versus kap we get keenum versus gabbert. >> kind of the same guys. >> rams/49ers coming up tonight. >> thanks, larry and mike. besides the clouds, we'll be seeing drizzle. early warning, slippery roads for your morning commute. measurable drizzle and breezy in
