No one on this thread is arguing that Scott is living up to his potential.

Not one person has made that assertion.

We are saying we don't have a good example of a "strong" Alpha that we can compare Scott to meaning we can't say he's weak based on observation.

We can say he's not living up to his potential based on the expectations expressed by characters in the script - but that doesn't translate to "weak."

When we see a "strong" Alpha on the show then we can discuss Scott's weakness relative to the strong Alpha. Until then - to say Scott is weak is unfair considering there have been no stronger Alphas within the known universe. No. It is completely fair to say that Scott is weak. It has been established in the show. You just keep denying it. You have good debate skills, but, unfortunately, the facts are not on your side. All you're saying is "Scott is weak, it's a fact".

Bring up SOME EVIDENCE other then the Kincaid and The Twins shit.

That's actually all you've got, and it's not enough due to the fact that it doesn't provide logical explanations as to how it can "scale" werewolf strength, which actually does matter if you are critisizing them or rating.

We don't really need more than that. The show has established that by other werewolves' standards, they see Scott as weak. Thus, he is weak, because the people with more knowledge of the issue than us have told us so. Scott's strength is in the people he can get to fight for him, not in himself.
