It's safe to say the ultimate losers of 2015 so far are the San Francisco 49ers. Regardless of what you think about their organisation, it must be gut-wrenching for the fans to see the team torn apart after an already lacklustre 2014 season. It's crazy to think they started Madden 15 with a whopping 90 rating, joint second highest in the league. Now as far as power rankings go they're sitting somewhere at the very bottom, and their Madden rating has tumbled to 78, but in my eyes, that's still not low enough. LB duo Patrick Willis and Chris Borland retired, while Frank Gore and Michael Crabtree jumped ship to sign for the Colts and Raiders. Anthony Davis, Justin Smith, Ray McDonald, Chris Culliver and even punter Andy Lee have all left Santa Clara, along with Coach Jim Harbaugh. It's been brutal for the 49ers, and 78 still looks high for such a shaken franchise.
