He is night-and-day better. Here are some solid stats that show how much he has improved these last 3 games over the first 3 games.

The Bears were a mess against the blitz at the start of the season and have been lethal against it over the last three games. The numbers don’t lie. Here are Williams’ statistics when teams rush five or more:
Weeks 1-3: 10 of 24 (41.7%), 56 yards (2.3 per attempt), 1 TD, 1 INT, 5 sacks, 45.8 passer rating, 5.6 QBR
Weeks 4-6: 19 of 24 (79.2%), 245 yards (10.2 per attempt), 3 TDs, 0 INTs, 2 sacks, 148.8 passer rating, 91.7 QBR
It’s like night and day with identical passing volume and, interestingly, pretty much the same time before each throw. Williams averaged 2.75 seconds per attempt versus the blitz in the first three games and 2.82 seconds in the last three. Protection has been better. He was hit 14 times on a blitz through the first three games and only four times over the last three. This is throwing an awful lot of statistics at you and we could be in the weeds for a while if we wanted, but I don’t think we need to go deeper to understand he has shown some real gains.
