I will stick with my boss's idea and will try to customize to make it even more better without hurting him.

Sir, I clearly understand which way you are heading but it would be great if we take a bird eye view on the entire scenerio rather than focusing on only the positive aspects of the project

I wouldn't tell him how crazy the idea was, instead, I will ask him for another idea as another option or choices then I will present my ideas too. The more options/choices, the better!

We all are not alike and everybody have a different point of view. For my boss it might be an excellent idea but for me there could have been a better idea that his/her's. The best way is to have a brainstorming session to make sure that the company is benefited with the idea irrespective of whoever decision has come to a conclusion.

I would first acknowledge his suggestion as one way of doing things, then share mine as another alternative citing its strengths and advantages but leave my boss an opportunity to either take my option or incorporate ideas as a blend.

No idea is bad. If boss thinks it's crazy and wants to do it then so be it however I'll give him my perception of stinker thought ina very polite manner and probably make him to rethink his idea.

First I will did research about that idea and after that if I still feel that this is not best way then I will make my boss aware about its positive and negative impacts. As he/she is my boss and more experienced than me she/he will understand these things and if I don't feel after research that its bad then I will discuss with him/her about my views.
I am sure she/he would have also thought about it and have solutions for it and if he/she didn't have thought about it we will find solutions for it.

Sir,
First, I will respect him for the idea and will try to understand it deeply in positive & negative prospect by sitting together.
In-spite of think it stink, I will put my positive suggestions in-front of him and brief him how the negative gaps will cover by the positive inputs.

The idea can go wrong for some but might be the best in world for my manager's point of view. In such situation, I will try so that my manager can have a look on the idea from an all around perspective also. There is a possibility that some better idea might come up due to this process.
