Well i would try to be very friendly and maintain a good rapport with him first! Then i would tell him casually that the idea may need a think over and state some simple reasons that may make the boss think without feeling offended.
I would give him a good example where such funky ideas took shape but ultimately had to meet a drastic end and then i would relate that with his idea, which he is crazy about! And try to make him convinced that it needs second thoughts.

I would definitely support him, then I will ask him to make me a part of the idea.
I will provide him the feasibility report of the Idea, then other options available.
Finally I will make him understand that his idea is not feasible to the company.

The world is for those who dare! Challenge your boss; after all you are paid for that to get better ideas and innovativeness.
At the same time you need to be clever. Consider for example, Akbar and Birbal, Birbal was a clever person who always got the better of Akbar. You need not confront him, convince him of your idea and do deal with how it is a better one. The answer also depends on the situation you are in.

Well I would rather say him that. Yes the idea looks a bit crazy, but we need to think twice before implementing it. I would also put forward the advantages and disadvantages of implementing the idea.
I also suggest my alternatives putting as strengths. We will also ask our team members regarding this. Who’s on maximum poll the idea will be implemented i guess
