The issue has never been limited to rookie snap counts or the playing of rookies during their rookie season or Marvin never plays rookies.
You attempt to alter or limit the Concept that you can't grasp in order to argue about what you tried to reduce it to.
The issue has always been about the Bengals tendency to often want the comfort of having an experienced starter already in place for a rookie to learn behind. More of a Safety Net that the Steelers often don't require at the same rate.
Then why do you cite so many Steeler draft picks that sat behind starters who were already in place?
I absolutely grasp your concept. All I am doing is pointing out the flaws in the evidence you claim proves your point.
Both the Bengals and the Steelers play rookies when they have to. Both the Steelers and Bengals prefer to let rookies sit behind starters when possible. You have not posted anything that proves differently. Many of the Steeler draft picks you cite as "immediate starers" actually sat behind other starters and did not play as much as the Bengals you try to label as "back ups".
