As someone 20 years into their field, I no longer listen to my manager if it's something idiotic. Andy Dalton is afraid to lose his job, or is he so dumb to nod his head when his coach tells him 1+1=3?

What would happen if Andy ran his own play there, disregarded what the coach said, they got a 1st down. Maybe behind the scenes conversation.

I don't think he's under orders to run plays as called, period. If he gets up to the line and it's stacked with little to no chance of success, i'd hope he checks out of it and does something else. If the bengals don't have several options for that scenario, then that's bad on them for not being fully prepared to adjust. 

Kind of like...i thought...the bengals practiced situational plays during TC? That's kind of a perfect place for that.
