Nature vs. Nurture

All right guys, here goes. I know, this is a similar thread. But as an ex-actuary (think statistician) I am really curious on how this breaks out. YES, it is about Alex Smith. I was a supporter and now I know that he needs to move on. This is a poll. I want to know the distribution of opinion. How much of Alex's failure is the fault of how he was treated (including injuries, Nolan, supporting cast or lack thereof, new OC every year, bad situation, bad OL, etc.) vs. how bad he sucked (bad decision making, lack of touch on some short passes, leadership, the patented roll out to the right and throw the ball out of bounds, etc.). So how much of the failure was due to the system screwing Alex, and how much of the failure was Alex sucking? This is not just another pro/con Alex thread. He is more than likely gone. I just would like as many people as possible to vote and see how it compares to my own thoughts. Please don't lock mods.
