While fans might be ok with a couple years of 2-4 win seasons after a potential series of 10+ win seasons, the organization does not seem to be because it will impact their finances.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe the Brown family has another cash cow outside of the Bengals unlike most other owners around the league. Therefore, a bottom-feeder year really hurts the pocket. 

Production is relative though. If you go "all in" and don't win a ring but end up being a consistent competitor, you become a more attractive landing spot for free agents and to mention productive winning seasons get fans back in the stadium.
