I really hope you're not implying that project managers are or need to be less smart than product managers.
They are different disciplines, and like any profession there's likely more people who are not good at it than people that are.
But I've worked with great visionary product people and excellent project and program managers (and strive to be one every day myself). Neither could do the other's job well or effectively. They need to be laser focused on different things, and their EQ tends to be tuned to different wavelengths.
