Colin Cowherd hates backwards baseball caps. He particularly hates them on NFL quarterbacks, carrying a deep-seated loathing that dates back to at least 2011 and perhaps even earlier.
So when 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy showed up to a press conference on Wednesday wearing his cap in a fashion that some people (like Cowherd) would frown upon, the long-time FOX Sports analyst lost his marbles.
Cowherd started by comparing Purdy to his perceived golden standard of "podium quarterbacks," Eagles' Jalen Hurts. In one clip showed on The Herd, Hurts wore a front-facing cap as he fielded questions from reporters and had what Cowherd described as a “professional” and “manicured” demeanor. Cowherd emphasized, “I like my quarterbacks to be adults. I don’t want them to be frat boys.”
