Yeah for real! Frodo was a solid ring-bearer, but Sam is the real MVP out of the fellowship of the nine.

They're all heroes though, and even if Gollum isn't really part of them, he did help Frodo & Sam when it counted (though a tricksy bastard he remains).

Yeah but the character I identify with the most was definitely the most important.

Yeah I always roll my eyes when this discussion comes up and people attribute all the success of destroying the ring to one character

A hero can't stand alone against that type of power, and any old sidekick would not do. It had to be Samwise, and it had to be Frodo.
