I'd like to see your evidence for large Deinonychus' Jaime.  Achillobator's
holotype was ~5 meters long, with a 505 mm long femur for reference.  The
largest Deinonychus specimen I know of is MCZ 4371, which has an estimated
length of 3.4 meters and a femoral length of 336 mm.  YMP 5270 seems to be
similar in length, but other published specimens are smaller.  Where is your
data coming from?

Utahraptor's 10+ meter length isn't large enough for you?
