So the tyrannosaurs and spinosaurs were polar opposites while the carcharodontosaurs were the middle ground. The tyrannosaurs(the advanced ones at least) had really big heads, robust teeth, small arms, powerful build, and big brains. The spinosaurs had long(but "thin) heads, small(conical) teeth, long arms, slender builds, and (don't wanna say it, but for lack of better words) "small" brains. The carcharodontosaurs had big(but light) heads, long(but thin) teeth, medium arms, slenderish builds, and "medium" sized brains. The tyrannosaurs were more generalized than the spinosaurs, but not quite as generalized as the carcharodontosaurs. Spinosaurs were very specialized. Tyrannosaurs, not quite as specialized, but somewhat specialized in certain ways. Carcharodontosaurs were pretty generalized overall.
I know this is all common knowledge(I assume at least) and I didn't get quite as detailed as I could have, but I figured I'd leave that open for the comments. This isn't saying which group is better(the tyrannosaurs, haha, just messing with ya), simply how different the tyrannosaurs and spinosaurs were while how the carcharodontosaurs were a bit of a middle ground.

Hey! Who put that there!
