I’m no pilot...but if a jumbojet is spinning around like a beer can thrown out the window of a car, there may be no chance of recovery. All the controls an lift surfaces assume a forward direction.
A stall would not result in an out of control tumble. It would be a nose over and maybe a yaw where the plane would still be moving forward, albeit in a dive instead of level flight. As soon as the plane reached flying speed, the pilot could level the plane out.
