Gabbert won starting job over Kaepernick in 2016, though injury rehab and contract issues complicated the decision.

Blaine Gabbert was named the starting quarterback by Chip Kelly in 2016, beating out Colin Kaepernick for the job. However, Kaepernick was still rehabbing from injury at the time, and the benching may have been driven by contract guarantees rather than a true competition.
