The speed is not a problem with Smith, IMO. He lost a step but he still runs with smooth motion, compared to Manning or Brady. In the pistol, I think the motion is vital, compared to speed. If you run smoothly, you will run little faster. Even a split sec matters. Say, your team got into 4 down and 1 yard and you must get to first down or you lose the game. With the pistol, defense have to focus on entire players except for Oline plus QB. Hard to cover everybody in that situation unless you know what is coming.
This is not to say speed isn't important, but in this situation with Smith, I think it's an exception. As long you don't run the plays too often.
