Colin Kaepernick will remain the starting quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers in Week 7 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Chip Kelly said he thought Kaepernick played "OK" but that there were things Kaepernick can continue to develop.

"Colin will be our quarterback against Tampa Bay," Kelly said. "I think there's some things that he did on Sunday that he can build upon. For his first extended playing time since last year, I thought there were some real positives there that I think we can try to build with him and get him going. It gives us the best chance against Tampa Bay this week."

Kaepernick finished 13-of-29 for 187 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 66 yards on eight carries with no turnovers.

"I think he kept a lot of plays alive," Kelly said. "Sometimes the protection broke down but he kept some plays alive from that standpoint. He did a good job keeping the ball out of harm's way, didn't throw any interceptions, didn't seem like there were (any) balls where you were like 'Geez, that was a close one.' Sometimes you can have a game you didn't throw any interceptions but you should have and the defense just dropped them."
