The data sample is so tiny here that I'm not going to worry... but yeah, we should all watch to see if Caleb has passing problems. But then again, in fairness, this was only day-2 of his first rookie mini-camp. And some of those rookies he was throwing to won't even be on a roster by the time the season begins. He threw a "near interception" and had 2 incomplete passes that happened to be in the middle of the field. With him being the first overall pick of the draft we will see a lot of over-reaction with some people covering the Bears, and I'll be one of the over reacting fans in all of this too.
FWIW, I'll admit I'm not a fan of ChiCitySports for anything Bears related, so I am biased here... and this particular article is not even from a guy who was at the camp. It's based on a tweet he read. He then writes this article and says he thinks Caleb Williams is coachable. LOL. He bases this on 1 tweet from Nick M (by the way, he is a guy who I do like and respect):
“Caleb Williams worked on his play action rollout with quarterbacks coach Kerry Joseph. For the drill, Joseph would direct Williams where to throw while he was in the middle of his rollout. Williams misfired on one of the attempts. Joseph went over and talked to Williams and coached him on the mistake. On the next rep, Williams put the ball right where it needed to be...
... - Wiliams completed a pass to (checks notes) running back TD Ayo-Durojaiye for a touchdown.
- Then Williams connected with wide receiver John Jackson for a score.
- Williams completed a pass to wide receiver Freddie Swain for a touchdown in the back left corner of the end zone.
- Williams had an overthrow in the back middle portion of the end zone. Williams tried to target the same area of the end zone again, but the pass went out of bounds.
- Williams hit Swain for a touchdown towards the front right pylon. Williams went over to Swain and congratulated him with a fist bump after the play.
- Williams was nearly intercepted in the middle portion of the end zone”
From that we see the ChiCitySports guy publishing an article that is trying to link this to Justin Fields' and postulating that Caleb Williams may be coachable in this area. LOL, he will probably jump off the ledge when he reads a tweet that CW has thrown his first real interception, right?
Seriously, on a board full of trolls and idiots, they have some of the dumbest takes, to the point where they actually make Sports Mockery seem credible in contrast.

When I read their stuff, I do believe it is the worst crap I have seen on the Internet (LOL, that's saying something because there is a ton of brain-dead stuff in the Internet now regarding the Bears).
I just don't read anything from them anymore. It's just clickbait crap.
What is sad, is that the Sports Illustrated content has become almost as bad. Seriously. I used to value S.I. and even (back in the day) subscribed to the magazine. But holy cow it is pure crap stuff on the Bears now. Unreadable.
