I think that the notion of Marvin not allowing rookies to play early on, is more applicable to defensive players.

AD and AJ was after Palmer and the absence of C.J. and T.O. (T.O. Sucked IMO but he had hands). He was forced to go that route, he had no choice. So basically narrows it down to the line and TE's. As far as TE's are concerned, I feel Marvin was looking to get that extra receiver involved like many teams were doing years before. He's a slow learner. Gresham didn't work out so well and neither did Eifert with the injuries (not Marvins fault). When you look at whats left after removing Zeitler and Whitworth? Good lord, going to the well again... Bad coaching!
