Here are some numbers from 2017, but since they cover an entire decade I'd guess they are still pretty accurate..... According to profootballreference over the last ten years there have been 227 different rookies who started at least 14 games. Since there are 32 teams that is an average of 7.1 per team. Over that period the Bengals have 7 different rookies who have started at least 14 games.

Marvin plays rookies as much as the average NFL head coach.

Most of those guys were played out of utter necessity.  They had no choice but play them.  But there have been other rookies who took too long to get their shot.  You know this is what people are talking about.
