The sentiment was always that Minnesota paid too much for a funky fit that would never work. Period. While I had my own personal doubts about this duo, the one thing that did not sit right with me about these takes was that there was never enough sample size to make such a definitive claim to give up on something before it even had the chance to begin. Not to mention the lack of context involved in the discussions.
