A wizard is never late. Nor is he early; he arrives precisely when he means to.

Wow, this board started advertising the minute I actually had a question about the hobbit. Anyone I was watching some clips from the Hobbit last night and a thought came into my head.

What would of happened if Smaug killed Bilbo got a hold of the ruling ring?

The ring would most likely remain in the mountain along with the other treasures. Dragons never cared about the Nauglamír nor the Arkenstone. It is possible that Sauron could eventually retrieve it from Smaug since they are technically allies, being former servants of Morgoth.

The Ring would still long to return to Sauron. If Smaug allowed Sauron to retrieve it, that's another story. Likely yes. It's not just the movies that imply Sauron would have used Smaug as a weapon against his enemies. He also had an understand with Durin's Bane for example.

Although it's worth to note that he couldn't order Durin's Bane. He might be able to order Smaug.

It seems like the other great evils recognize Sauron as top dog.

Saruman, even though he always wanted to betray Sauron, always did what he wanted.

I suspect that Smaug would have less willpower than a wizard.

Not necessarily.

Also Saruman only thought of taking the Ring for himself at the start. After contending with Sauron, towards the end, he was nothing more than a pawn.

this is accurate as a dragon in the ring of the Nibelung, that is the place from where the ring is taken from if I am not mistaken

Yes. In the book it isn't stated that the balrog doesn't necessarily obey Sauron, he merely allows his plans/minions to run about.

The orcs/goblins follow Sauron.

A personal theory I have about the "pecking order" on the remnants of Morgoth's forces, is that balrogs are the most loyal to Morgoth. They saved him from Ungoliant, and every task they have been given they have accomplished it. Meanwhile Sauron got his ass kicked by a half-maia, lost his fortress and then willingly surrendered when Morgoth fell. It's no wonder they have little respect for him and would not follow his orders.

Who was also a woman.

But to be fair, she also bested Morgoth himself in a contest of wills, so Sauron had an excuse at least.
