The Smiths without Morrissey = nonexistent.

Morrissey without The Smiths = Morrissey.

I'm sorry if it's going to sound trite, but where would Morrissey be if it wasn't for Johnny?

I'm not trying to undermine his immense talent, but we do have to admit that The Smiths were a collective effort, and - although his contribution in equal measure - more than just Morrissey.

Most likely not were he is now. But even if The Smiths didn’t happen, there is the possibility that Morrissey eventually may have succeeded artistically ( if not commercially) in some other way. I believe he was driven enough to achieve something someday.
