His offensive line was a sieve. Horrible.
The reason he has time in the pocket is that he has an uncanny ability to utilize the pocket and feel pressure and move away from it and make the pass.
Geno makes shit look a whole lot better than it was.
And he had to force it in nearly every game as his defense was, literally, one of the very worst in the entire FBS division. 107 out of 120. That's horrible.
And yet the guy still passes for a 70.1% completion, 40 TD's against 6 Ints and should have been 10-2 until his defense gave up three last minute drives that lost the game that Geno nearly miraculously won.
If his defense doesn't shit the bed in those three games, he likely wins the Heisman and is in another BCS bowl and people talk for years about his historic level season. (Like he was the season prior where he won the 2012 Orange Bowl MVP and broke all of Tom Brady's Orange Bowl passing records.)
Geno Smith is as good as it gets folks.
