This probably isn't realistic, but I guess if you had an unrecognized pitch disconnection at high speed and somehow one pilot kept pushing while the other kept pulling, you could end up with large elevator deflections but no change in pitch. Loading on the horizontal stabilizer might be as much from the deflections themselves as from the fact they were in opposite directions.
