I think Sam wouldn't have the conviction to get things done. He wasn't the one who stood up and accepted the ring at the council. Sam was loyal and didn't have lofty desires, but he didn't have the spirit of adventure and perseverance that Frodo had. He was the perfect ally to help Frodo, but he wouldn't have made a good Ring bearer himself.

sams greatest threat is gollum and frodo's greatest threat is everything else.

Right he was too high a power level and just couldn't take this boring adventure seriously when there was strawberries he could be growing.

Happy to help out his friend though.
