You clearly have never played football nor know anyone who has.
Every formation has a set of audibles to change the play. Every... single... one.
The QB is allowed to check out of and audible to one of the plays off of that formation's tree at any time he sees fit. In no way can a coach force a QB to run something, either. There are ways for AD to change the blocking, from run to pass (and vice versa), etc. at the line. Andy's been a QB in the same system long enough to know what to do and the coaches to allow him some freedom. One of the things talked about in many interviews over the years is Andy pre-snap, his audibles, "check with me's", etc.
Maybe the play came in late and he didn't have time? Or, (more likely) Dalton just isn't as good as people have thought. He seems to be a product of the immense talent around him making him better.... not the other way around.
