Seems like every other team expected to sign Bridgewater (Speculation)

The issue was accuracy. It makes no difference who is catching the ball only that the ball was catchable i.e. accurate. If anything a preseason mark is even more impressive because of the lower quality of receiver.
One can make any number of arguments to support one's chosen position, without any of them being conclusive. If I was in an argumentative mood, I could say that's even *less* impressive because of the lower quality of DB (or indeed overall defence) being played against.

Not to mention that defenses don't game plan in preseason either, showing vanilla schemes that are easy to beat even for a less experienced/capable player.

But I don't feel argumentative, you believe what you believe. Just don't expect everyone else to ride with you on that one ?
