Luck threw on the move better than Smith does, IMO.
One of the most incredible things about Luck was that he could roll out, keep his eyes downfield and fire a freakin' strike. Smith isn't nearly as good in that regard.
Luck wasn't asked to stand in there and fire in the face of pressure very often because Harbaugh had the luxury of knowing he could roll him out without losing effectiveness and generally did so.
I don't Smith is as consistent about it as you do, but I do agree that it's not a liability of his. You consider it among his great assets, it appears. I don't, but I certainly don't think he's bad about it by any means.
