Why would anyone expect Derek to be a great Alpha yet. He was manipulated into losing Paige, I believe by Peter. I am still unclear on what Peter was trying to accomplish on that way back then unless even then, he was attempting to insert himself among the hierarchy...whatever...

He lost most of his family, was betrayed by Kate, chased by Argents without knowing the real reason why, a Kanima, the Alpha pack, the Dararch. He didn't know about Deaton. It seems he wasn't even in Beacon Hills until Season 1 but then we don't really know, though we know his sister, Laura, was enticed back.

This season, I have seen him listening and working more with Scott. I think there might be more that they haven't shown us...hope so anyway. I believe his sacrifice will more than he or Peter realizes. Or not.
