The mind games roll on prior to next week's CFB Playoff. This week Jim Harbaugh passive aggressively complimented Alabama QB Jalen Milroe by comparing him to his own backup QB Alex Orji...

quote:
"He’s like a real polished Alex Orji," Harbaugh said, via 247Sports. "The athletic skillset, the playmaking ability, just the ability to extend plays — make plays — is really … the volume of the work and how it’s progressed is really impressive."

“We’ve seen it before our eyes right now with Alex Orji. And it scares me a little bit that Jalen Milroe would be as athletic as Alex Orji, because Alex is like the most scariest, athletic guy on our whole team. So, okay, that’s a little scary.”

Id imagine someone who has lived high level football since 1982 had a pretty good grasp on how good a player is and what they are capable of.

Is this what’s considered passive aggressive these days?
