He also knows how to keep a roster intact instead of losing guys every offseason to cap casualties. Can he improve? Of course. I think he also knows he needs to improve, based on some quotes I read from him about being better at his job.

That's fair. He's definitely a good GM, but he needs to improve on his overall roster construction and filling holes to be considered a great GM IMO as his teams have been as a whole less than the sum of its parts. Granted some of that is due to the QB situation which has been mostly out of his control up until now.
