I’m sure the unfair criticism is the reason he’s leaving. Are fans forgetting that Michigan won the previous two years as well in games that weren’t competitive. Did Stroud get blamed?https://www.on3.com/college/ohio-st...back-kyle-mccord-enters-ncaa-transfer-portal/
Ohio State's starting QB Kyle McCord enters the transfer portal. In his only year as a starter he goes 11-1 and was made the scapegoat for OSU's loss to Michigan. This is why I have "black quarterback Derangement Syndrome" I guess. The totally ingrained racial bias and open attacks on White QBs. The double standards they have to face - the shortcomings of the Buckeyes were solely his fault but ANYTIME a black QB fails the coach, system, coordinators are all to blame. Media creating the black savior at QB narrative and DWFs eating it up no questions asked certainly bear part of the blame. The lack of pushback from any where including this site also allowed for the QB position to be lost to blacks.
It's a shame many folks on here decided to just put their heads in the sand instead of call the QB position out for what it is, criticize it and mock it. Oh well.
Regarding McCord, hopefully his really good year gets him opportunities at many of the top programs. I think he’s earned that.
