I know the JP reference threw some people off here...I'm not really asking
anything about the general accuracy of the JP dinosaurs. The _Spinosaurus_
twisting its head around to grab the guy is just the most vivid example I
could think of to describe the kind of neck rotation that I'm asking about. 

So, back to the original question: is it likely that large theropods could
achieve that kind of bite angle? Is it more likely that _Spinosaurus_ could,
but _T.rex_ couldn't, for example?
