I don't recall him even speaking with such passion about his Buckeye team or wanting to make Buckeye fans proud. Am I just forgetting it?

He has talked about choosing Ohio State repeatedly because of the success of black QBs from Troy Smith to Terrelle Pryor to Braxton Miller, JT Barrett, Cardale Jones, Dwayne Haskins, and then Justin Fields.

CJ grew up seeing black QBs starting for Ohio State and excelling his entire life, and he wanted on that train.

That's all well and good, but I was saying I don't recall him ever speaking with passion. It seems to me (probably incorrectly) like he was just at Ohio State for the nfl training and didn't care for the fanbase or for the team beyond his personal achievements as QB.

That’s what’s new today. Mostly QBs who even have a sniff of the NFL are now making decisions that improve their NFL chances realistic or not. Ewers year with Dennis and Day..if he didn’t make the most of that shame on him. Ewers may now be a top 20 pick, Penix top 5, Nix top 20. Having a private coach or multiple coaches.

I think this is more a manifestation of the 'freedom' of being on a team with low/negative expectations.

Last week in Stroud's presser he talked about his time at Ohio State and being expected to not just win every single game, but beating every "less than" opponent by 70.

Dude probably got death threats the night of the Minnesota game, his first start which he did win. We all know 100% he got death threats after losing to UM twice. I would not be surprised if Stroud's opinions of his time at Ohio State are a mixed bag.
