Depends on how you define success? If regular season record is how you define it then you are correct. If its post season and Super bowl is your goal then Dan Reevs had better success in the post season. Dan Reevs also had a 14-2 season which Smith has yet to do.

As far as Matt Ryan being a very good QB... Gonzo and Roddy get most of that credit, they are consistently his top two targets, one if a future Hall of Famer and the other is an All Pro and 4x Pro Bowler.

Drew has not had a All Pro or Prow Bowl WR yet.

Matt Ryan is as good as Matt Schaub, Joe Flacco, ... any of the QBs that have epic receiving talent at their disposal.
