Payton, Sanders and Brown were all better than Smith and Earl Campbell might have been too if his legs had held up..
you gotta remember that Smith had an excellent offensive line, a good team and a great quarterback for most of his career. The fact that the Cowboys had multiple offensive threats made it much easier for him to gain yards than it was for Payton.
Bears opponents KNEW Payton was coming every time he touched the ball. Cowboys opponents had to cover the air attack AND the ground attack.
Not to say Smith isn't good, he's just not as good as Sweetness
