Without a doubt the best lyricist to ever live. And Johnny Marr wrote some of the best riffs of all time also.
Well, as I am not an expert on Morrissey, I posed the question about his degree of talent and you responded and you think he is - fair enough.

However you also say "Without a doubt the best lyricist to ever live". That's quite a claim considering all the lyricists that have contributed to all genres of music over the centuries. Perhaps I might not be inclined to agree with you on that one.
