Why have penalties, turnovers, dropped passes, missing offensive assignments, etc always been a problem since Les got here?

Lack of discipline.

False. Our RBs rarely fumbled, until this year and I can't remember wide receivers dropping balls that hit them square in the numbers like they are now. Actually in past years our receivers made spectacular catches on below average thrown balls (killing any yards after the catch). The third bullet my friend is penalties, and this is the least of the three that bother me and many have been called for being overly aggressive, which doesn't bother me as much.

The only problem we've had since Les got here is winning. You people somehow got it into your minds that we are just soooo much more talented than all the other SEC teams out there. Which is myth. We are on even playing field with at least 7. And we have a better record (over the last few years) than all of them.
Hate to say it but it's confidence. The team is down because of injuries..
Anyone with a tiny bit of confidence can catch a ball. Hold onto a ball. And revel at the chance to block an oncoming defense.
Players without it let the ball fly through their hands, hold on to carries loosely, and get nervous and commit fouls.
This team can beat anyone in the country when it's clicking. And Saturday night can be a spark to get that back.. Or it can make the "wheels come off" en route to another 3 loss season.. OMG.. the horror.
LSU wins 21-10..

Lack of discipline.
Maybe. Even likely. But add to it coaching that does not burn the needed skills into the minds and bodies of LSU players, so that their mistakes will be few and seldom (if ever).

I doubt if receivers who cannot or do not catch are deliberately recruited by LSU. And I doubt if faltering QBs are recruited by LSU, if the press clippings and films are even halfway accurate. So I can only surmise that these non-catching receivers and struggling QBs are developed at LSU/by LSU only after they have arrived at LSU. Which then begs the question of "WHY?" Thoughts?
