Jeff Davis does a great job of keeping up with a natural teen lifestyle in addition to the supernatural, so we should consider that kind of stress on Scott. He is slowly and gradually testing the waters of his powers and strength. A general werewolf like Jackson (what he thought he would be) would go head first and use these things to their benefit, ergo general omegas/betas/alphas. In my opinion, I think that is what separates Scott from the other werewolves and alphas. I think when it comes to saving Stiles, his mom, or anyone else he truly loves, he would/will completely go true alpha on Beacon Hills. As a fandom, we have to remember that although the show is essentially 3-4 years old, the time in Beacon Hills is much more compressed. I think that he has only recently became adjusted with the fact that there are other supernatural creatures in the world. In this small time, not only has he had to accommodate a new lifestyle, but he has jumped to the top of that food chain, making him a new target. Me personally, I would be hell-bent on getting out of Beacon Hills because that is serious stress, but Scott can accommodate.

I dont get where this theory is coming from about scott holding back. We've only ever been giving two instances of scott intentionally holding back and only one of them had to do with a fight and that was at the beginning of this season. The other one is when he told Argent he tries to ignore what he can smell. The easiest answer is just that these enemies are stronger than anything else that have been shown on screen. Scott can be told about the extremities of his species, but he hasn't spent his life witnessing them like Derek or even Peter. He lacks the years of experience and know-how of the other wolves he is being compared against. The limits and extremities of something like this doesn't happen overnight. For example, in 'Riddled' he told Derek he needed him around. Every big decision Scott has made or move against a villain has been made with consultation from Deaton, Derek, Stiles or a combination of these people. Because of these things, it is not logical for his eyes to glow red and he start winning every single fight. I do feel as though he is holding back since becoming a true alpha, but I feel that is also justified because he was only getting comfortable with being a werewolf and the supernatural and this new great thing comes, but because it is so rare, no one is really sure of what he can/cannot do at this point. This is all just my little opinion/defense for Scott as I can relate to having been a teenager, and on several occasions being thrown into something with absolutely no idea what is coming next.

Except this holding back wouldnt affect you during a fight for your life and the lives of the people you love. I'm not discussing scotts decisions making skills because of course as a teenager thrown into a situation you had no preparation for you would need the help of those older and with more experience in that situation and if it were merely baised on scotts skill of things he had to learn that would be one thing. Yet were talking about his overall power. Except for in the the opening segment which was explained why he was afraid to use his power he has had no issue using it, theres been nothing stating hes holding back and all evidence has been shown that his embracing his power. All the situations scotts been in where people have complained about him lacking have been situations where no sane person would have held back and could have cost the people he cares about and himself their lives.
