His head space is better, he's not forcing bad throws under a huge range of situations, etc. I would say this is improvement - possibly due to him have a better mental attitude on a better team, but an improvement nonetheless. If Favre made identical throws under identical situations to those of two years ago, I firmly believe he would not be having the season he is having this year, ie. improvement.

But Lurch, all of those things you point to (head space, forcing bad throws, mental attitude) could all be attributed to the difference in personnel around him. When guys aren't open you have to force throws. When your defence can't stop anyone, you are forced to throw the ball.
