Do the San Francisco 49ers have a late entry to their quarterback competition?

No, probably not, but Christian Ponder made a couple of impressive plays Saturday against the Denver Broncos.

He kept the ball on a zone-read and beat several Broncos defenders to the end zone for a 22-yard score.

Just a few minutes later, Ponder had the 49ers in scoring position again. The former first-round pick capped off the drive by finding wide receiver Dres Anderson for the score.

Ponder signed with the 49ers on Tuesday after Thad Lewis was lost for the season.
