The one-win Niners are back on the Kap Train.
Offensive coordinator Curtis Modkins announced Tuesday that Colin Kaepernick will start at quarterback Sunday against the flailing New York Jets, per Matt Maiocco of CSN Bay Area.
Kaepernick was historically awful in last Sunday's loss to the Bears. Hampered by the snowy elements, the former Super Bowl starter was 1-of-5 passing for just four yards before coach Chip Kelly yanked him in favor of low-wattage backup Blaine Gabbert. Sacked five times in defeat, Kaepernick became just the second quarterback since 1970 with more takedowns than passing yards in a single game.
"We had been playing good football on offense and the thing had been trending in the right direction," Modkins said of Kaepernick's handiwork prior to the Chicago implosion.
