In classic NFL style, the 49ers have made it crystal clear that they’re thrilled to kick off the 2023 NFL season with Brock Purdy leading the charge. But the 76-year-old O. J. Simpson is equally delighted for a similar yet distinct reason. Who wouldn’t be after he hit the bullseye with an early season prediction about trades. Simpson managed to predict the moves of 49ers QB Trey Lance better than anyone else out there. Unsurprisingly, this brought out a hearty reaction from the NFL veteran.

Simpson made his call even before the big media outlets had a whiff of the Trey Lance situation, and it turns out, he hit the nail on the head.

O. J. Simpson exuberant after his prediction comes true

The former NFL star boldly foretold that the perfect landing spot for Lance would be none other than the Cowboys. And you might think of it as a stroke of luck, but credit where credit’s due. Simpson’s exact words as a football MVP went like this: “You can go to a team that could be way ahead in the fourth quarter, and has the luxury of putting him [Lance] in, like the Dallas Cowboys. I think the Cowboys could be running away with some games.”

Later, when his words actually became news, he reappeared on X and stated, “This morning I called it [laughing]. We talked about landing spots for Trey Lance, and I said it this morning, Dallas would be a good landing spot for him. And he went to Dallas.”

The five times All-Pro also firmly believes that Trey Lance is in for more action with the Cowboys. He said they might rest Dak [Prescott] and give Lance some quality playtime. Now, Dallas is still keeping their playbook under wraps, but this might just be a deal that doesn’t hurt them – that’s how it’s shaping up, at least.

Fans bombarded the comment section

With the 76-year-old former NFL star calling the shots so accurately, how can the fans not react? They’ve taken to X, itching to share their two cents on this matter.

A comment appreciated O. J. Simpson for making a guess: “Thanks for taking a stab at that prediction. You nailed it.”

One figuratively expresses the excitement: “You’re murdering these predictions Juice! I love it.”

Some acknowledged O. J. Simpson’s prediction and wondered about Lance’s place in the team: “Yep you called it. Will be interesting how he can backup Dak”

Some comments made use of wordplay too, using strong language in a playful manner: “Killer prediction! You totally stabbed that one!”

In conclusion, Trey Lance didn’t secure the QB2 slot for the Niners, as that position was given to Sam Darnold. The quarterback will be seeking a new story with Jerry Jones’ Dallas Cowboys.
