I don't think anyone could have carried the Ring but a Hobbit. A special hobbit at that. I feel the Hobbits were much stronger than most give them credit for. They not only did great things individually they also overcame many terrors almost unscathed except for frodo. It is amazing he survived the Ring at all so it is understandable he was so effected. Poor Boromir couldn't resist it just being near it for many days.
Hobbits have an encredible strength of spirit without them I feel the quest would have failed.
