4 San Francisco 49ers
Forget the Tony Bennett song. There is no heart left in San Francisco. The 49ers were last in
offense and last in defense in 2005, and were so bad they made Alcatraz look good. PK Joe Nedney
was the team's MVP. Now, how bad can you get? Alex Smith, the first overall pick in 2005,
struggled at quarterback and finished with a 40.8 rating. Somehow, WR Brandon Lloyd wound up with
48 receptions and ended up in Washington. Frank Gore led an anemic rushing attack with 608 yards.
The best thing that could happen to this franchise would be the return of former owner Eddie
DeBartolo.
