Terrell Owens is one of the most talented receivers to play in the NFL, but putting up historically great numbers didn't make teams he played for any better according to Bill Polian.

Polian, a Hall of Fame executive, has years of experience dealing with players. But two players he avoided were Owens and his now ESPN co-worker Randy Moss. In an interview , Polian says he didn't want either of those guys on his team.

He didn't have a lot to say about Moss, but he did share plenty of thoughts on why Owens wasn't named into the Hall of Fame. According to him, Owens actually made teams worse.

"I think the Hall of Fames are for people who make their teams better, not who detract from them," Polian said. "What did Owens do that made his teams better? He put up a lot of numbers. Bill [Parcells] said that he was a disruptive force. Jerry [Jones], who’s probably one of the most easy-going people when it comes to disruptive guys, got rid of him. I’ve gotten texts from people in Philadelphia responding to the campaign saying, ‘This guy was a cancer and destroyed our football team.’ How does that square with the Hall of Fame?"

Owens helped his teams reach the playoffs in eight of his 15 seasons, so he did play a big role in several successful seasons. But there's also the other side where Owens played for five different teams, including three in each of his last three seasons.

There's no doubt Owens rubbed certain people the wrong way, but there have been plenty of others who praised him as a teammate. Former 49ers QB Steve Young recently said Owens "worked as hard as Jerry Rice."

Polian had plenty of success without Owens or Moss, but it is a bit odd to hear him say they wouldn't help teams considering their talents.
