The 49ers have gotten solid fourth quarter player from Christian Ponder in two of the three preseason games he has been on the roster. What’s next with roster cuts looming?
The San Francisco 49ers have plenty of quarterback questions, and Christian Ponder added a wrinkle this preseason. The 49ers signed Ponder after Thad Lewis tore his ACL in the first preseason game. The injury left the team with Blaine Gabbert and Jeff Driskel, and then a Colin Kaepernick dealing with fatigue in his throwing arm. Ponder had been busy painting his house and just about ready for retirement when the phone rang.
