Smith doesn't stretch the field. That allows the defense to load up short.
SMith doesn't take chances. That means passing up on quick throws because he doesn't want to take a chance
Smith's pocket awareness is so-so. He will often scramble out instead of sliding in the pocket
Smith too often misses the hot read

Sure, Smith's speed gives him more wiggle room to dance out of trouble. But there are definitely ways he can make his OL better. Again, the biggest improvement at the end of 2013 in the OL wasn't talent. It was Smith being the most aggressive we've seen him for much of his career.
