I simply don't believe that the quest could be completed by anyONE on his own. To undertake such task one had to be absolutely overcome by the idea of the quest, just the way Frodo was, so that at some stage he stoped caring for eating, resting or choosing the way. If he wasn't, he might have probably turned back. But having achieved this state of determination, he could have probably died of exaustion, if not for Sam's support.
As for Sam, I don't think he could show the same devotion to the IDEA as he showed to a PERSON. And if he could - I don't think his situation would have been any different from Frodo's.
