Can we still make the playoffs if Blaine Gabbert starts a signficant amount of games in 2014?

Many of us, probably most, would feel like the season is lost if Kaepernick goes down this year, but I disagree. I think that if Kap did go down, we would revert to the conservative, run-heavy offense we had in 2011. Run, punt, a little bit of play action, lean on your defense.

Harbaugh would get Gabbert up to 'game manager' level of competence and would be fine. he's got a good arm and his biggest problem is his total lack of confidence when there's any pressure. that can be fixed.

And no team is uniquely equipped to deal with such a loss as the Niners with Gore, Lattimore, Hyde, Hunter, and James (if he's not traded).

Please see the Blaine Gabbert Highlights below.

Its also worth noting that Gabbert's first three years are superior to Alex Smith's, so...lulz.

So, what do you think?
