The prime-time meeting between the 49ers and Cardinals tonight pits undistinguished quarterbacks in Gabbert and Stanton,, who is making his 13th career start because Carson Palmer is out with a concussion he sustained Sunday.

Of the 76 quarterback with at least 450 pass attempts since 2008, both quarterbacks rank near the bottom in passer rating and completion percentage, according to ProFootballReference.com.
