How wrong you are. Very wrong. The similarities end at both transferring from Florida,
Size - Cam is a much bigger physical presence at 6'5" 248lbs compared to Portis 6'3" 210lb frame.
Cam has a stronger arm, is more accurate, had a higher QB efficiency rating against far superior competition, and won championships at both the D-I and D-II levels.
To assert that Portis might have been the next Cam if he had another year of eligibility is a joke. Portis doesn't possess the talent Cam has and Cam did it all as a junior, not as a 6th year senior that Portis would be with another year.
