As someone who has had the surgery, you can run on it in about 4-5 months.  At 10 months it'll feel normal... and that's without a FBS training staff working on you every day.  See Aaron Rodgers' recovery and he was 40ish.  By January he'll be able to walk around and throw.  It's really taking contact on the leg that you need to hold off on.

We're used to looking at Achilles injuries in the context of RBs, WRs and CBs where they get mediocre in a hurry if they can't cut and accelerate at 100%.  For a QB and a leader, he can get a lot of work done while his leg is healing up towards game level stability.  I doubt he would take any contact in the Spring anyway so they should be able to walk through a lot.

The timing works out to the start of Fall camp.  Mobility may be limited or reduced towards the start of the season but Steve's there to chuck that pigskin downfield.  If 100% is 500 yards a game, I'll take 80% of Steve over 300% of Joe Filardi.
