Jim Harbaugh likes Blaine Gabbert as the San Francisco 49ers' backup quarterback behind Colin Kaepernick despite his struggles in preseason.

"Blaine is that guy right now," Harbaugh said Friday of the No. 2 quarterback, per The Sacramento Bee's Matt Barrows.

In two preseason games, Gabbert is a combined 11-of-25 passing for 60 yards (2.4 yards per pass) with two interceptions and a 17.9 passer rating.
