Personality wise/humor wise, I'm a lot like Jack...ZERO science skills...and relationship wise, I'm a lot like Sam. Some of us understand because we've had our own Pete experience (my worst two were Michael and Vladimir)...someone who we might settle for because we thought it was what we were supposed to do to have the whole picket fence scenario. I get Sam because, in this regard, I'm just like her...really great/very confident with my work and yet super insecure and a complete mess when it comes to the men of my life or anything having to do with my personal feelings for any of them. Tons of really bad decisions, stupid choices, etc. And I've caught myself in the midst of a disaster and wondered where the strong-willed woman went...I'll bet Sam did that a few times with Pete...
So I understand what it's like to be a walking contradiction like that...confident yet insecure...and perhaps that's why I can look beyond the mistakes and see the broader picture of the brilliant, well-rounded and superbly portrayed character that is Sam Carter.
Now as for Sam in Season 9...I think that Sam will be much more at ease and comfortable in her own skin now that she's faced her Jack issues head on. Jack not being there, IMHO, will do wonders for her because she won't have that tension to deal with day in and day out and as a result I think she'll be able to focus more on being an incredibly confident and competent SG-1 team leader.
