In Week 2, Fields had 1.1 QBR, one of the lowest scores I have seen. 3-11, 27.3%, 27 yds, and a fumble lost before leaving the game with a concussion.

Super small sample size, but more numbers continue to show he's getting better. 

They scored 17 points against MIN (taking away the pick 6) and 21 against the Lions. They had 317 total yards against MIN, and 339 against the Lions.

Penalties continue to kill this team, but if they can ever clean that up, there are signs of hope with this offense. Next week will be a big test. DAL's defense is horrible. If the Bears don't put up big numbers against them, It will be concerning. If they do, it will give some validity to the idea that they are improving.

Thanks, Adam. I love this thread and hope you continue comparing the 2nd-year QBs as the season advances. It will be interesting to see the progress, or regression, of each of them throughout the season.

Week 3 -

Williams - 86.6 QBR - 298 yds, 4 TD, 0 INT, 0 sacks, and 12 rushing yds. 310 Total Yards. Won. / Season QBR: 67.0
Maye - 59.5 QBR -  268 yds. 2 TD, 1 INT, 5 sacks, and 45 rushing yds and 1 Fumble. 333 Total Yards. Lost. / Season QBR: 57.3
Nix - 38.5 QBR - 153 yds, 1 TD, 0 INT, 2 sacks, and 33 rushing yds. 186 Total Yards. Lost. / Season QBR: 41.6
Penix - 12.4 QBR -  172 yds, 0 TD, 2 INT, 0 sacks, and 9 rushing yds. 181 Total Yards. Lost. / Season QBR: 47.7

Daniels - DNP / Season QBR: 38.9
McCarthy - DNP / Season QBR: 20.5 (Last in NFL)

3 straight games for Williams with improvement to Comp%, Y/A, TD, and QB Rating.

-------   Week 1  >  2  >  3
Comp% -  60% > 63.3% > 67.9%
Y/A  -        6.0 > 6.9 > 10.6       
Pass TD  -   1 > 2 > 4
QB Rating - 86.6 > 91.9 > 142.6

Don't look now, Williams is on pace for 4,051 passing yards, 40 Passing TD, 6 INT. He would have 3,812 thru 16 games. So he even has a shot to break Kramer's team record of 3,838 in the same number of games, and also hit 4K in the same year. Very promising. Now we need to stack weeks like this.

Over 20 games, the top 3 QBs in the 2024 class, TD/INT:

Nix 34 TD, 15 INT
Daniels 28 TD, 9 INT
Williams 27 TD, 7 INT

Nix only has 46 more passing yards than Williams, who are now 1-2 in Passing Yards.

ESPN has him at 67.2 QBR on the season now. 

It's only been 3 games, but he's clearly been the best QB of his class to start the season. I still don't think Drake Maye is any good. He's benefited from a cakewalk schedule against soft defenses in these first few games, yet New England is still 1-2 with Caleb out performing him.

Yeah in 1 or 2 more games, Williams will have the best numbers for their careers of every QB in his class outside of Daniels rushing numbers. 

He already has the best Year 2 numbers by a wide margin.
