Talking about a fully mechanically controlled airplane this makes no sense at all. There's a direct mechanical connection between the flight controls and the control surfaces (normally hydraulic, but manual fallback) in the 737. There are no "conflicting commands".
And while a "split elevator" condition arising from both pilots pushing/pulling on the yokes against each other may occur in the
767 (see the
final report for Egypt Air Flight 990), I have never heard of this for the 737, and that alone would not automatically cause loss of control and crash, much less a stall.

EDIT: Egypt Air 990 was a 767. Thanks, Airbubba.
