re: Offensive woes self-fulfilling prophecy?

I went ahead and broke down the self-fulfilling prophecy definition and described how I think it might be affecting the offensive philosophy.

1.) The self-fulfilling prophecy is, in the beginning, a false definition of the situation.
a. Our Freshman QB (Lee) is prone to make drastic errors. To prevent this, we will play more conservatively which will prevent losing games we should win and allow us to compete against other good teams.

2.) Evoking a new behavior which makes the original false conception come 'true'.
a. We no longer need strong QB play because we can win with defense alone.

3.) This specious validity of the self-fulfilling prophecy perpetuates a reign of error.
a. We win lots of games and go to bowls every year. We even went undefeated in the 2011 regular season, all of which was done with subpar QB play.

4.) For the prophet will cite the actual course of events as proof that he was right from the very beginning.
a. LSU is a winning program. We've won multiple championships in the last decade and even went undefeated in 2011. LSU doesn't need to throw the ball and keep other teams off balance because we're LSU and we're that good. QBs for us "manage" the game, therefore we don't need or expect much from them because our defense is what wins games and our offense is prone to errors. It's a proven formula and it's our formula. Changes do not need to occur because the proof's in the pudding.
