Garappolo speaks highly of him

Garappolo is currently the starter for the San Francisco 49ers, who will be hosting the Green Bay Packers in this week’s NFC Championship Game.

“(Schuplinski) was with me from day one,” Garoppolo told WEEI. “Josh McDaniels was our quarterbacks coach, but Jerry was my quarterbacks coach at the time. He taught me all the ins and outs of the playbook…at the beginning you’re going into a system where a guy has been doing it for however many years Tom has been doing it with Josh, so they are kind of speaking a different language initially. You’re just trying to play catch-up when you are in there, and Jerry was kind of the guy. He knows all the stuff and he brings you up to speed.”

So does Brissett…

From CBS Sports: “Brissett, who played well when Brady was out serving his league-issued suspension at the start of the 2016 season, specifically sought Schuplinski out after receiving a game ball following a win early in the ’16 season.”

Brissett is now the starting quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts.
