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 would fully support him, as my boss is greater to me in experience and knowledge I would respect his views and support him in reaching his goals.
Well if I think his idea stinks then I would provide constructive feedback to him about improving his idea.

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.

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!

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.

I think I don't have much knowledge and experience at this stage of the job so I would like to give the best advice if I can but if I won't have then I'll leave it to him because he/she must be more experienced than me.
