Kali and Ennis were alphas for years, the Kanima was virtually indestructible, and one alpha can not stop an army of trained werewolf hunters.

True he has gone up against tough enemies but truthfully he doesn't seem to have the experience or knowledge to handle them. Deaton is the emissary but it seems he chose to advise Scott rather than Derek and while I get that he sees Scott's potential I would assume that he was supposed to be advising the alpha (and Scott is not Alpha yet). Even Deucalion has an emissary. As far as going it alone as the alpha, Peter seems more qualified than Derek as he has more knowledge but I don't think going it alone (without and emissary) is the way it was meant to be.
