Some of that is offense. I mean playing style. Look how often both of them extended plays by scrambling to hit long passes. Both relied heavily on that athletic ability to QB effectively.

The end result is the same when they lost their legs

1000%.

Both among the discussion for greatest "scrambling" QB's off all time. But when you rely on that so heavily, it's devastating when it goes away.

Look at Cam when he lost his arm. He relied as heavily on the dual threat of his howitzer of an arm and his massive physical size/athletic ability. Once the arm went, he was no longer an effective NFL QB.

I mean to be fair who can play QB without an arm?  Even Peyton had to be carried across the finish line when he was chucking ducks.

Valid. Cam was still able to be an effective dink and dunk QB(look at his NE time) but that isn't Cam Newton anymore.

Not even on the injury report, that’s quite the recovery

Cams end is tragic and ironic.  Everyone assumed he would be in trouble when he lost his mobility.  That he would have to learn to play from the pocket before his athleticism declined.

But it ended up being the reverse.  He lost his arm through injury and he couldn’t throw anymore.

Back to practicing on the side on the first practice back after the injury too. Should be studied for science

I remember it as teams played us with Cam and his dead arm about like they play us with Bryce. They weren’t afraid of anything deep down the field. 
Cheated up on everything. 
 

Talk about a deep ball Cam had a deep ball.

Cam's deep ball was a beauty. There was a game where he got Ed Dickson damn near 200 yards while Greg Olsen was out. And that was in 2017 before his arm fell apart.

This is why when I see the new definition of a "deep pass" I roll my eyes damn near to the back of my head.

Yep. It was a very sad time to be a Panthers fan to see a player so great reduced to what they were.

Nah people run down Bryce for just managing the game when the offense was flowing through Rico. Have you seen what Taylor has been putting up in Indy

I know you have seen how I feel about it. Right there with you.  
I swear I was listening to the radio of our game and checking some game cast play by play and they do things like ‘deep incomplete 18 yards. I poo you not that is for real. I have no words or too many words.
