Playing only the first half of Saturday’s 39-9 rout of the visiting Redblacks before taking a seat so his two backups could split the second, he tossed two TDs to bring his total to 26.

Vernon Adams Jr. of the Alouettes has 22, Dane Evans of the Ticats 21.

Bethel-Thompson is among the most respected players on the Boatmen because he’s always fighting and leading the team, right up until the final whistle. And, he has been clean of late, with zero turnovers in his past two outings.

MBT may have the most touchdown tosses, but Stampeders’ Bo Levi Mitchell is hands down the best QB in three-down football.
