Fun and interesting debate. I actually looked up all 4 of their stats for both their careers and w/ the Colts and here's my take after this.

For the Colts - I thought Edge would win out easily, and the stats clearly back that up. But the stats tell a different story from spots 2-4 than I thought they would, and post analysis here's my take:

1. Edge - 12k yds from scrimmage and 75 total TDs for the Colts
2. JT - 9K yds from scrimmage and 76 total TDs for the Colts
3. Faulk - 8k yds from scrimmage and 51 total TDs for the Colts
4. Dickerson - 6k yds from scrimmage and 35 total TDs for the Colts

For career I initially thought it would be Dickerson, but after looking at the stats I have to go w/ Faulk and it's a landslide. I also included fumbles in my career stats analysis. I should probably go back and include them in the Colts stats, but I suspect it won't change my rankings. Anyway, here are my career rankings:

1. Faulk - 19k total yds, 136 total TDs, 36 total fumbles (1.0% of his touches)
2. Edge - 15.6K total yds, 91 total TDs, 44 total fumbles (1.3% of touches)
3. Dickerson - 15.4K total yds, 96 total TDs, and a whopping 78 total fumbles (2.4% of touches)
4. JT (but incomplete) - 9K total yds, 76 total TDs, and only 15 total fumbles (0.9% of total touches)

Edge and Dickerson are really close in yards and TDS but giving Edge the nod since his fumble rate is close to half of what Dickerson's was. That's something I had forgotten about Dickerson. The dude fumbled A LOT.

Also, I agree w/ Dam that if Edge had not have had his ACL injury he would likely have had the best career of any of them. But I also think that if we had kept Faulk he would have had just a good of a career, (dude had a monster year in '98), and I think we would have been a better team since he would likely had Champ Bailey on the roster as well.
