I think they have a Template in place guided by spending on Contracts/position groups and are fully aware that they have to build up towards Peak Roster seasons.

8 and 0 tells them they can have their cake and eat it too someday. Do it their way with their Template.

Little margin for error and their Time horizon for building things up may differ from fans' expectations.

Yea I think this makes a lot of sense when it comes to Mike Brown justifying his operations, but at the end of the day, it's the fans' decision on whether to buy in or not.
We all have a choice to determine what our own expectations are, even if our expectations may seem unreasonable to some.
But I think Mike Brown views the fan base in this manner: I can always move the team if the fans don't show up.
