Bernard has as much promise as Alesi but never got the same breaks. Ditto Comas.

Well, Boutsen had a contract, so I assume it's for Comas(who I belive also had a contract, but I'll check it and post it later). The rumours of Prost joining Ligier were already starting by then as well.
Actually the Alesi-Comas-Bernard trio is amongst my favourite.
Alesi. It's just so fun and enjoyable to watch him drive a car. The way he did it was so natural, no people could learn it.
Bernard lost a bit of momentum when his accident happened in Japan, I guess he never recovered entirely.
Comas was just unlucky. He was beating Boutsen in 1992, but couldn't agree on a deal with the team for '93, so he had to opt for Larrousse. Had he stayed at Ligier he might have grabbed some podiums, and his career could have gone in a different way.
But It's just one of the many generation of drivers who didn't fulfill their potential.
