We get tons of emails...for me personally...its mostly hate mail. But from time to time we get some good tips. Whether it be a neighbor of a player...family member ..ect. Here is one we recently received....(Disclaimer...its not from PFT...but from a reader). Is this guy onto something...or just a complete nut job?

You guys seem pretty ballsy - tell me what you think of this:
>>
>> I have been aware of certain players cheating in the NFL via HGH and
>> whatever the steroid du jour is.  I don't have pictures or fingerprints
>> on
>> a syringe or anything; I can just "see" things in certain players.
>>
>> Let me expand on that:
>>
>> Look at Peyton Manning; compare his ball velocity from his rookie year
>> to
>> his 2nd and 3rd.  I have most game tapes of the Colts from 1989 to now
>> and
>> I clearly remember Manning's limitations his rookie year.
>>
>> His arm strength was sub-par for a 1st round draft pick.  Equivalent to
>> a
>> Rodney Peete.  If a downfield play took too long to develop he would
>> hang
>> the ball up. If they played in windy weather he was totally ineffective
>> (like in Buffalo).  He also threw "flutterballs" quite often; which is a
>> symptom of trying to overthrow the football.
>>
>> If you look at Manning in his record setting 2004 year, he basically had
>> a
>> Troy Aikman level arm.  Below that of a Randall Cunningham or Jeff
>> George.
>>  He does not even have to set his feet anymore to throw bullets
>> downfield.
>>  He throws outs to the other side of the field from a roll out.
>>
>> I have been a ardent Colts fan since 1984, and I am a Peyton Manning
>> fan.
>> But I am 100% certain that his arm strength has increased an unnatural
>> amount after he entered the league.  No one was paying attention to the
>> Colts in 1998 during his rookie year - so the national media has no
>> memory
>> of this.
>>
>> I can tell you one piece of indirect evidence:  If Manning had the arm
>> he
>> has today before he was drafted, there would have been no comparison
>> between him and Ryan Leaf.  Manning now has equivalent arm strength to
>> what Leaf had before he messed up his hand.
>>
>> I think that Manning saw his limitations after his rookie year and knew
>> that he could not execute physically as well as what his eyes and brain
>> were telling him to do on the field.  So I think he went for "something
>> extra".  Just the jump in arm strength in his second season is striking.
>>
>> Before 10 years ago I don't think there was a single example of a NFL QB
>> increasing his arm strength after College.  If working out was the
>> answer
>> then everyone would be doing it.  QB's work out to build a layer of
>> muscle
>> to protect themselves from injury.
>>
>> If you have access to some tapes; check it out for yourself.  If you
>> need
>> some, I may be able to dig in my "archives" and find some.
>>
>> P.S. Manning's arm strength looks to me to be slightly diminished last
>> season.  Maybe whatever undetectable substance he has switched to is not
>> as effective as those that there are tests for now.
>>
>> When Ricky Williams retired, I guarantee it is due to Human Growth
>> Hormone
>> and steroids (THG).  The "Mary Jane" thing was just a bull****
>> "smoke-screen".  The league is not allowed to release that info.
>>
>> In his first three seasons with New Orleans, Williams had *nine* 20+
>> yard
>> runs.  In his first *two* season with Miami he had *thirteen*.  The the
>> test for EPO came out and he was suspended and mysteriously lost 50 Lbs
>> while remaining in good shape.
>>
>>
>> After not having true break away speed his whole time in New Orleans he
>> sudden was breaking all these runs for long distance after coming to the
>> Dolphins.  Before all this I mentioned to others that I suspected he was
>> one of the guys in the NFL doing this.
>>
>> He "retires" and then comes back 40 pounds or whatever lighter?  Do you
>> think he was dieting while he was getting into his chronic?
>>
>>
>> Others I suspect:
>>
>> Tom Brady - talent evaluation mistake my ass; if his arm was as strong
>> as
>> it is now he would have been a 1st round pick.  He is another one that
>> no
>> longer has to set his feet before throwing the ball 30 yards on a line
>> over the middle.
>>
>> Ed McCaffery - This guy was a possession receiver in *college*!  Most
>> NFL
>> possession receivers in the NFL were deep threats in college.
>>
>> Check his stats:
>> http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/1219
>>
>> In his first *seven* years in the league he had *one* count 'em and
>> single
>> solitary 40+ yard catch with the Giants, Rams, and a year with the
>> Broncos.  In the next three years after meeting up with Dr. Pill
>> (Romanowski) he had *13* - yes, THIRTEEN 40+ yard catches.  And no one
>> noticed this?  You can't say it was the system; he had his normal
>> pedestrian stats his first year in Denver.  I remember him running away
>> from people on a couple of those long catches.
>>
>> Ray Lewis - Was a very good athlete coming out of college - turned into
>> a
>> total Barry Bonds-like monster after a couple of years in the league.
>> Mysteriously "lost a step" after there was a test for EPO.  Started
>> getting hurt - again like Bonds.
>>
>> Jason Sehorn - this guy never looked right to me; he ended up putting
>> too
>> much stress on his joints and started his string of leg injuries.
>>
>> Jim Miller - was actually suspended for steroids, his arm strength
>> increased a lot after leaving college.  He started the 1996 season as
>> the
>> STARTER for Pittsburgh and was cut after the 2nd game!  Did the team
>> know
>> something?  Look at his 2001 season with the Bears; that is the year he
>> was suspended.  After that year he started getting hurt.
>>
>> Brandon Stokley - Another Raven that got faster after having leg
>> injuries.
>>
>> David Boston - Is there really any doubt?  His performance fell off the
>> table after the test for EPO came out and then he started getting hurt.
>>
>> Terrell Owens - He is faster than he was coming out of college; and he
>> is
>> ripped of course.
>>
>> Shannon Sharpe - I think he was on something for most of his career, but
>> then he went to Baltimore he got ahold of whatever Jamal Lewis, Priest
>> Holmes, and Ray Lewis were using.  He was supposed to be done when he
>> went
>> there; instead he was reborn.  Look at his last year with Denver - he
>> had
>> his best season in years with *eleven* 20+ yard catches!  Then he
>> abruptly
>> retires after there is a test for EPO.
>>
>> Bert Berry - I watched this guy in Indianapolis go through 4 uninspired
>> seasons.  During this time the Colts had a terrible defense - so it is
>> not
>> like he could not beat out a future hall of famer.  He was a LB in
>> college
>> and it was a failed experiment to move him to DE.  Mysteriously he tuned
>> into a pass-rushing demon after arriving on the same team as "Dr. Pill".
>> How did he do after the test for EPO came out?  He got hurt.
>>
>> Priest Holmes - Great example of someone getting faster *after* a major
>> knee injury.  He had *ten* 20+ yard runs in his first fours years on 459
>> rushing attempts.  In his next season (after suffering some leg
>> injuries)
>> in Kansas City he had *eleven* 20+ yard runs in 327 attempts.  How did
>> he
>> do after the test for EPO came out?  He got hurt and has stayed hurt.
>>
>> Jamal Lewis - In his excellent rookie year (2000) he had *eight* 20+
>> yard
>> runs.  In 2001 he blows out his knee.  In 2002 he comes back (bear in
>> mind
>> it is supposed to take two full years to come back from a major knee
>> injury) and has *Ten* 20+ yard runs.  The next year he has sixteen.
>>
>> How did he do after the test for EPO came out?  He had *eight* 20+ yard
>> runs in TWO seasons and was always hurt.
>>
>> Mark Schlereth - this guy dropped like 50 lbs after retiring and is
>> still
>> cut.  Isn't that a little strange?
>>
>> Bill Romanowski - This guy was still getting faster before he retired;
>> any
>> doubt he was suffering from 'roid rage?  They should have tested that
>> spit.
>>
>> Jimmy Smith - Reconcile his excellent speed and performance at an
>> advanced
>> age with his sudden and unexplained "retirement" this off-season.
>>
>> Shaun Alexander - he looks faster than he was in college.  Check this
>> link
>> from 2000:  http://tinyurl.com/hm3ah
>> "He is much more quick than fast and gets caught from behind at times."
>>
>> This is in COLLEGE - if you are getting run down from behind in college;
>> I'm pretty sure you are not going to be a speedster in the NFL.  Do you
>> remember Alexander being run down from behind in the last two years?
>>
>> You want an example of someone who is a good example of someone who is
>> NOT
>> cheating?  Consider Edgerrin James.  James had eighteen 20+ yard runs in
>> his first two years.  The he had his knee blowout in his third year.  He
>> came back the next year and was obviously running on one leg.  Since
>> then
>> he has not had more than six 20+ yard runs in any season.
>>
>> Some facts about James:
>>
>> 1.  He is widely considered to be a VERY hard worker.
>>
>> 2.  He is a fast healer.
>>
>> 3.  He has never recovered his speed since his injury.  He went from
>> having 4.5 speed to probably 4.8 now.  He gets his yards through guile
>> and
>> his excellent vision.
>>
>> He is also the kind of high character guy who would never stick a needle
>> in his ass to get ahead.  He simply does not need to play that badly.
>>
>>
>> All of these players have increased their overall athleticism since they
>> were drafted.  80 years of history in the NFL says that does not happen.
>>
>> Many of these players have had leg injuries that may have been caused by
>> abnormal stresses put on them.  Some of these guys started cheating
>> AFTER
>> they were injured as a way of catching back up.
>>
>> As soon as there was a test for that new steroid that Barry Bonds and
>> half
>> of the Olympics were taking; these guys started retiring: Ricky
>> Williams,
>> Shannon Sharp, Bill Romanowski, etc.
>>
>> Mostly I suspect these players because either they "look wrong" or I
>> distinctly remember them being slower in past years.  "Looking wrong"
>> means that seem to be able to move faster than their legs can carry
>> them.
>>
>> Notice the teams involved.  Denver and Baltimore make up the majority of
>> these players.
>>
>> Please check this stuff with some of your player-personnel guys.
>>
>> Ask them these questions:
>>
>> 1.  Can a QB significantly increase his arm strength after he has
>> physically matured?  Assuming he did the normal working out expected of
>> the position.  Name some examples.
>>
>> 2.  Can a player become faster after he has physically matured?
>> Assuming
>> he was not completely out of shape.  Name some examples.
>>
>>
>> Well, there is my spiel.  There is a lot more, but damn - I do have a
>> life
