It seems to me that it's a reasonable under the circumstances to think that the phrase wasn't being used in a complimentary way. Bob might have been wrong in taking it that way, but it's not unreasonable .
There a sense of what that type of sentence generally means-- in common usage. I don't think that has anything to do with whether Bob personally thinks it should be (or is) a put down.
