Blaine Gabbert was only person at his press conference
The 49ers play the Cardinals on Sunday, and to accommodate media requests, San Francisco's starting quarterback was made available to the press via a news conference Wednesday. Unfortunately, the media was not to be found.
Quarterback Blaine Gabbert arrived for his press conference on Wednesday only to see the room empty. So, as CSN Bay Area’s Mindi Bach shared via Twitter, the Niners quarterback decided to take seat in the front row.
What did #49ers Blaine Gabbert do when he showed up for his press conference and no one was there?

As far as Gabbert, he showed up on time. The #49ers did not list him on today's schedule so the media didn't know.

Credit to Gabbert for showing up and being ready when he was supposed to be. It’s too bad no one else knew he was ready.
Since being named the team’s starter, Gabbert has completed 63 percent of his passes for 449 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions in two games. San Francisco is 1-1 in those games with a win over the Falcons and a loss to the Seahawks.
With Colin Kaepernick’s season over after shoulder surgery, there will be more Gabbert press conferences to come. It’s safe to assume there will be people for him to speak with in the future.
