Let me break this down:
Say you own a business and have 10 employees:
9 Employees bust their ass everyday to make your business successful.
The last employee, (that you are paying the most money) continues to do the job wrong, sit on his ass, and bring your business a bad reputation.
BUT... your business is very profitable. SO ALL YOUR SHIT EMPLOYEE DOES IS WIN.
How is this hard to understand?
Edit:
1 Caveat to this whole scenario would be Andy Reid's role, and if he is the boss that is forcing his employee to suck at his job.
I still can't figure out who is to blame, so I will continue to be critical of both.

Truth be told, Alex weighs little in the calculus for me.
He's proven he can win. He's proven he can come back [Chargers, Broncos]. He's proven he can ball out in the playoffs [Colts].
Does he do it all the time? No. But if he CAN, yet he DOESN'T, it's not an ironclad conclusion that he CAN, except when he alone CAN'T.
The bulk of the calculus after judging Alex capable shifts to trusting Andy and Dorsey to both keep frosty on roster evaluation and keep vigilant on new talent acquisition.
If Dorsey and Andy still have faith, I'm rolling with them. If they target a QB, wherever they target, be it a blockbuster trade, a later draft steal or even betting the farm on a blue chipper. I'll trust that as well.
As it stand now, Alex is not 'the' problem. Those who try to single out scapegoats in a team game are simpletons.
And all, and I mean ALL, the talk about the Hunts only want 'mediocrity' and are actively thwarting an express need, voiced by Andy/Dorsey and disregarded, for a better QB out of fear or cheapness is reeruned bullshit.
