Does Anyone Use 7 Step Drops Anymore?

Like MOST Pro-Style passing game coaches I know, we no longer TAKE 7 step drops.  INSTEAD, we take the 5 step drop, and if the pattern has not developed, the QB bounces in place on his toes (once or twice).  In one bounce, the receiver can run 2 1/2 yards.  This will TIME out like the old 7 step drop.

NOTE:  He must be able to read the defense so he knows 90% of the time where he is going to throw the ball before he finishes his drop.  If he has to wait until he sets before he figures out where to throw, we haven't done a good job of coaching him!
