Rank (rushing yards):
Emmit, Martin, Bettis, Faulk, Dillon, Watters, Tiki, Edgerrin, Priest

Rank (yards from scimmage):
Emmit, Faulk, Martin, Tiki, Bettis, Watters, Edge, Dillon, Priest

Rank (yards per carry):
Tiki, Priest, Faulk/Dillon, Emmit, Watters/Edge, Martin, Bettis

(With touchdowns I'm inclined to give points but not really to subtract points. For example, I'm inclined to overlook Tiki's paltry (by comparison) number of TD's because perhaps finishing just wasn't in the game plan and considering his YPC it makes sense that he'd be tired after carrying his team downfield. And I'll overlook the last few years of Bettis's career where he rarely touched the ball outside of the 8 yard line. But, you gotta give it up to Emmit's Gretzky-like number of touchdowns or Priest's impressive total in a smaller body of work.)

Rank (touchdowns):
Emmit, Faulk, Martin, Bettis/Priest, Watters, Dillon, Edge, Tiki

All time?
Emmit (dude, he's just killer)
Faulk (I grade him high on total yards and TD's)
Martin (you got to credit his consistency, durability)
Bettis (carry a load over the years)
Tiki (ypc jumps out at you)
Watters (underrated)
Dillon (underrated)
Edge (won't end up better than Martin)
Priest (fewer games played tells the tale)

Emmitt and Faulk are the only clear Hall of Famers to me. Hard to leave out Martin and Bettis though.
