29. San Francisco 49ers (1-6)

The 49ers lone victory came in week one over the Los Angeles Rams. Since then it has been all downhill for head coach Chip Kelly and company.

The 49ers have been competitive in some games, not so much in others. They are coming off the bye week. I believe they were the underdog but the final score wasn’t reported.

They do have some very talented players on both sides of the ball. They left a lot to be desired however after their 34-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in week seven.

Colin Kapernick is not the answer at quarterback but then again neither was Blaine Gabbert. Whatever Kapernick had in 2012 en route to the Super Bowl is completely gone.

Truth is it doesn’t really matter who the quarterback is for the 49ers. They will be lucky to get three or four wins under their belt. This week they host the New Orleans Saints.
