So what does he do? He executes his gameplan. He gets the wr screen out there half a second after he has the ball. He hits wrs in stride and on their proper shoulders. When time allows, he surveys the field. Given that he never runs and always has his eyes looking for someone when he has to scramble, I'm still wondering why anyone can possibly call him a 1-read qb.
Another thing I notice... I see people talking about how he can't handle pressure. Guess those folks just haven't watched much tape of him, because that was the thing that REALLY stood out (and one of the things that sold me, other than his Sam Bradford-esque accuracy) to me. Smith is very good at sliding JUST enough in the pocket to extend a play and get the ball out.
