The Bombers' Negotiation-List QB Has a Two-Faced Stat Line

Winnipeg added 22-year-old UMass senior William "Pop" Watson to its negotiation list, and the split is extreme: 74.0 percent completion with a 6:1 TD-to-INT ratio plus four rushing scores in a 4-0 start this fall, versus 57.1 percent and a 1:2 ratio in two starts at Virginia Tech. At 7-7 with a closing contention window, Winnipeg is stockpiling mobility at quarterback — a futures hedge, not a depth move.
