Smith has an adequate NFL arm. It's not a "plus" arm.
Guys who don't have "plus" arms make up for it all the time with a variety of other qualities. Getting the ball out of their hands quickly. Timing and throwing receivers open. Pinpoint accuracy. Athletic scrambling ability.
Do you think Alex Smith is "plus" in any of THOSE categories? Because he sure as hell needs to be.
