Seems to be another Baker Mayfield/Sam Darnold situation where he may not have been the real problem with his lack of success in Chicago, and/or just needed a different team structure or coaching situation to meet his real potential. QBs rarely really thrive in Chicago partly because the Bears are rarely built like a team focused on QBs in general. As long as I've watched them, the Bears' identity has been a strong defense and running the ball on offense, the passing game is an afterthought. Watching Caleb getting thrown out there in that environment is watching the Bears try to fit a square peg in a round hole, same as it was when they had Fields. They made at least something of an effort this time by also drafting his WR teammate, but that's not likely to be enough on its own for Caleb to shine there. He needs more help, and only time will tell if Chicago will provide it for him, but it will likely mean an entire change in team philosophy to do so.
